Hey, I need help. Here is my question: Pick three of the four values(hospitality, honor the gods, honor the family, seek knowledge and wisdom) and pick a character you can relate this to as well as an "opposite." Who can I pick? Just need the characters to get started.

Odysseus - honor the gods, honor the family, seek knowledge and wisdom but lacks hospitality.
His Opposite:
Helen - Wife of Menelaus. no honor for family, beauty is supreme but not knowledgeable, Certainly, just a pawn of everybody including the gods, hence least wisest.

hospitality- the pig-keeper welcomed Odysseus and fed him. Opposite- the suitors. unwelcoming even in another's home, cruel.
honor the gods- Odysseus. always was sacrificing. opposite-? i guess the suitors again.
honor the family- Penelope always was waiting for Odysseus the eternally late... Opposite- the suitors clamored for her hand almost as soon as Odysseus was out the door....

Re Saarah's reply: Odysseus's crew slaughter Apollo's cattle, which is very disrespectful.
