✨What is Xenia?✨

(2014/2022) -XENIA- THE ANCIENT GREEKS PRACTISED XENIA - A RITUAL OF GUEST-FRIENDSHIP.... AS A GUEST: -ASK FOR HOSPITALITY FROM ANYONE -DO NOT BE A BURDEN BY OVERSTAYING YOUR WELCOME AS A HOST: -PROVIDE FOOD, DRINK, COMFORT (BATH, BED) AND PROTECTION -DO NOT ASK THE NAME OR BUSINESS OF THE GUEST UNTIL ALL THIS IS PROVIDED BOTH: -EXCHANGE GUEST-GIFTS - WORTHY PRESENTS THAT LINK GUEST AND HOST FAMLIES TOGETHER! BUT WHY? Theoxenia! ZEUS XENIOS PATRON OF GUESTS! THEOXENIA - WHAT IF YOUR GUEST WAS A GOD IN DISGUISE? HOW COULD YOU AVOID PUNISHMENT FOR BAD XENIA? GIVING XENIA TO EVERY GUEST BECOMES A RELIGIOUS OBLIGATION TO AVOID PUNISHMENT FROM ZEUS.

Am I am unchill in sharing this. Seriously, read it if you haven’t yet somehow.

FYI: At GCSE, the essay question most likely to be asked is ‘how good a leader is Odysseus’ or ‘how responsible for his men is Odysseus’ and the answer, based on the text, is *always* ‘not very’ Basic Essay plan:
~FOR his being a good leader /responsible
- tries to get them to leave Ismarus after attacking Cicones
- gets his men back from the Lotus-Eaters, using force in their best interests
- makes stops to take on food and water and ensures crews are well fed…

Evening all! It’s Playmobil Ares!
He comes with:
- Helmet✔️
- Spear✔️
- Round shield✔️
- Bracers 🤔
- Greaves✔️
- Chest-plate✔️
- Red cloak 🤔✔️
- Blue shorts? 🤔🤔🤔
- Doggo of War ✔️😍☠️
So far so good. May need to have a deep-dive into the armour though… (advice please!) Playmobil Ares. Has a LOT of armour, and quite a lovely dog! Going to dive straight into the armour/costume…
Ares has greaves, blue shorts (?) with some kind of decoration like a belt, a white tunic, bronze cuirass, bronze shoulder guards, a red cape, and bracers.
Does this sound legit for Ancient Greek armour of any period?
