My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves, in sight of other islands—Dulichium, Same, wooded Zacynthus—Ithaca being most lofty in that coastal sea, and northwest, while the rest lie east and south. A rocky isle, but good for a boy's training; I shall not see on earth a place more dear, though I have been detained long by Calypso

"Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey by Homer.

My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves, in sight of other islands—Dulichium, Same, wooded Zacynthus—Ithaca being most lofty in that coastal sea, and northwest, while the rest lie east and south. A rocky isle, but good for a boy's training; I shall not see on earth a place more dear, though I have been detained long by Calypso

Based on the evidence provided, readers can conclude that Odysseus

Answer:

He misses his homeland.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt above shows Odysseus remembering his homeland and talking about it and its quality in being a good place to train a boy. This memory is spoken in a very emotional way and while remembering, Odysseus reveals "I shall not see on earth a place more dear," showing that he misses his homeland very much and wants to go back to it, even though he found pleasure elsewhere.
