a. violence is never justified.
b. even heroes sometimes allow their emotions to get the better of them.
c. intelligence is more highly prized than physical strength.
d. revenge is sometimes justified, even if it involves violence.
i believe its either a or
b.

From the Odyssey, what can be inferred about ancient Greek cultural values by Odysseus' slaughter of the suitors is that even heroes sometimes allow their emotions to get the better of them.

D is not the answer because ancient Greeks did believe in revenge and avenging their people. Also A and C are not the answer because ancient Greeks believed in fights as a way to reclaim their territories and avenge their people. Therefore the answer is B, because in the Odyssey we see that even the strongest warrios can allow their emotions to get the better of them.

i may be wrong but i think your answer is flashback

it was surely an odd creature that one made up by reading the historians first and the poets afterwards a worm winged like an eagle; the spirit of life and elegance and charm,   in a kitchen chopping up suet. but these creatures, monst'r however entertaining to the imagination, hast no existence in fact. what one might doth to bringeth h'r to life wast to bethink poetically and prosaically at one and the same moment,   thus keeping in toucheth with fact—that the lady is mrs martin, ag'd thirty-six, did dress in blue, wearing a black coxcomb and brown shoeth; but not losing sight of fiction eith'r—that the lady is a vessel in which all s'rts of spirits and f'rces art coursing and flashing p'rpetually. the moment, howev'r, yond one tries this method with the elizabethan mistress, one brancheth of illumination fails; one is did hold up by the scarcity of facts.   one knoweth nothing detailed, nothing p'rfectly true and substantial about h'r.   hist'ry scarcely mentions h'r.   and i did turn to professeth'r trevelyan again to seeth what hist'ry meanteth to that gent.   i hath found by looking at his chapt'r headings yond t meanteth.
