From the above excerpt, it can be learned about the ancient Greeks that:
They believed the gluttony and disobedience are negative traits.
They believed that the gods punish people for acting badly.
They believed in the importance of strength in battle.
Odysseus tells about his men who ate the sheep and drank the wine until their stomach was full. After they were full the Cicones' army attacked them which was a consequence of the butcher nature of his men. Greeks had the idea that the punishment for gluttony and disobedience is sure to come. They believed that one should be brave and fearless while fighting in a battle. For them, the God was omniscient who rewarded or punished people of their dead.
<span>Bacon lists Cupid’s attributes in order to compare them to the features of the atom.
Just like Cupid, atoms too are primary seeds that make up the world, and just like Cupid, they are naked, because they are not merged into a compound, but rather remain their "innocent" selves. He doesn't use this comparison to prove that Cupid is real (nobody can do that), or to prove he is a child (he is often portrayed as one), or to disprove the existence of atoms (it has been proven already they exist).

The short story has a beautiful theme.

Answer:
How such enormous monuments
were moved across the land is a mystery, and
when asked to reveal the secret the chief will
say only, with a wry smile. "They walk"
Explanation:
Personification is a literary device in which an inanimate object is given human attributes.
The writer is filled with a sense of wonder how the inhabitants of the island were able to move the huge and obviously heavy 30-feet high stone statues. When he inquired of the chief how the stones got there, the Chief replied that the monuments walked there.
The stone statues are inanimate objects and so cannot walk. Saying that the stones walked which would even heighten the writer's astonishment, assigns them a human attribute.
Thus, the sentence best uses personification to show the writer's sense of wonder.
