Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

My men stood up and made a fight of it—
backed on the ships, with lances kept in play,
from bright morning through the blaze of noon
so holding our beach, although so far outnumbered;
but when the sun passed toward unyoking time,
then the Achaeans, one by one, gave way.

Answer:

The values of the ancient Greeks that are most emphasized in this excerpt are bravery and perseverance

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt talks about how the men fought without stoping and without giving up, Greek stories focus a lot in the values of bravery and perseverance since they have heroes who have a mission and an objective that never leaves their thoughts and for which they are willing to do as much as they have to.
