I am from Greece and every year we have honor ceremonies for past greek heroes.
First, in Greek, honor is "τιμή" timi.
The ancient Greek people usually they honored the war heroes. The ancient Greek concept of a hero was different from our own culture's. First and foremost, the ancient Greek hero was a religious figure, a dead person who received cult honors and was expected in return to bring prosperity, especially in the form of fertility of plants (crops) and animals, to the community. That's why they honored those people.
Also, in ancient Greece they used to honor the greek gods, like Zeus, Hermes, Aphrodite etc. They created poetry, hymns, plays to honor their gods.
In conclusion, the word honor meant a lot tο the Ancient Greeks, but it means a lot to to the Greeks today as well.
