Explanation:

The passage presented provides information about King Minos and a Minotaur (figures of Greek mythology) that was the offspring of Minos's wife which, through this story, the text shows the importance of respect in the Greek culture especially as this is punished if violated. The first evidence of it occurs as King Minos rejects to sacrifice the white bull to Poseidon and because of this, Poseidon punish him, which leads to the wife of Minos to give birth to the Minotaur. On the second place, the importance of respect is shown as the Minotaur is kept in a labyrinth because this did not show respect as it fed humans. Therefore, the passage mostly supports the conclusion that the Greek people valued respect.
