Which excerpt from the odyssey demonstrate the importance of hospitality in greek society?
here is a poor man come, a wanderer,
driven by want to beg his bread, and everyone
in hall gave bits, to cram his bag-only
antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder
"suppose athena's arm is over us, and zeus
her father's, must i rack my brains for more? ”
"the cruel belly, can you hide its ache?
how many bitter days it brings! "
odysseus only shook his head, containing
thoug of bloody work, as he walked on,
then sat, and dropped his loaded bag again
upon the door sill.
