Describe the role of xenia as it appears with The Odyssey. The Odyssey is in sharp contrast with Greek culture during this time, as there are virtually no examples evident within the poem. Xenia plays a large role within the poem, as it does within Greek culture; examples of xenia being exhibited and broken are spread throughout the poem. There are many examples of xenia within The Odyssey; however, the Greeks don't place much stock in xenia. Although xenia is important in Greek culture, The Odyssey contains only a handful of examples of xenia throughout the poem.
