Question

Which excerpt from the odyssey demonstrate the importance of hospitality in greek society?

Answer 1

Hospitality is referenced commonly in Odysseus. It is known as Xenia in the sonnet. One prominent model is.  

Here is a poor man come, a drifter, driven by need to ask his bread, and everybody in corridor offered bits, to pack his sack—as it were. Antinous tossed a stool, and slammed his shoulder.

The lines demonstrate Odysseus masked as a poor person and offers his bread with another poor person in an awkward manner as he needed to crush him in order to eat. In any case, Odysseus does not murder the elderly person and even demonstrates his cordiality.
