The last one, family ties

Nikhil · Answer 2

I believe the correct answer is family ties.

Odysseys and his son Telemachus haven't seen each other for over ten years, and when finally they met, they hugged and began to weep. They love each other dearly, because they are closest family, which is something the ancient Greeks valued.
