Answer:
Their traditions
Explanation:
In the "Odyssey", Elpenor was Ulysses' youngest friend. While on Circe Island, he got drunk and decided to spend the night on the roof. In the morning he slipped down the stairs and broke his neck. When Odysseus goes into the underworld, he meets Elpenor who asks Odysseus to give him a decent funeral.
Returning to the island of Eea, Ulysses pays Elpenor funeral honors, performs a dignified funeral, and buried Elpenor in his armor and placed his ship's oar to mark his grave. This shows that Odysseus and the Greeks respect their traditions.
