Yes, they should be merged. Would it be more helpful if the bracketted section of the title read (Ritualised friendship in ancient Greece) or (Guest-friendship in ancient Greece)? The former is the heading used in the Oxford Classical Dictionary. Flounderer 12:01, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Seems like it might be better split off now. Anyone have any opinions? I think I'll throw a split tag on it later if no one objects and see what people think. -- Falcorian (talk) 15:31, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Is there any similarity with the Bedouin concept of hospitality? Any relationship in its development? (As I understand it, because Bedouins are nomadic, a request for hospitality cannot be refused.) Omar Sharif 06:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
agreed - as detailed in my comment below Drobbler ( talk) 19:43, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
Should this be tagged for references? Can we get a more detailed citation for the Professor Lane Fox statement? RJFJR 18:41, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Here's a link to some refs http://www.teach12.com/ttcx/magazine.aspx?lid=lit200902_p11&cid=302&ai=34285&WT.mc_id=DLRAct20090207&so=1 Seano1 ( talk) 17:42, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
I added the "original research" template. It is not really an issue with what has been written so far, but a lecture is an unverifiable source. The article could use expanding as well. -- 151.201.149.209 ( talk) 16:22, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
The entire article looks like it was directly taken from NationMaster, if that helps at all. http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Xenia-(Greek) 68.228.95.48 ( talk) 08:51, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Philoxenia is synonymous with Xenia, so I propose merging that article into this one (if any content in that article is useful).-- Nikolaj Christensen ( talk) 10:57, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
The following section is highly confusing, but I don't know enough to demystify it:
Hector and Achilles meet in battle, but before attacking, the former asks the lineage of the latter. Glaucus tells his lineage, upon which Diomedes realizes their guest-friendship.
Is it Hector and Achilles who exchange lineages, or Glaucus and Diomedes, or neither, or both? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.190.117.7 ( talk) 05:31, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
A book elsewhere on Wikipedia - The Horse, The Wheel and Language by Anthony - details the historical custom which is identical to this Greek concept. I'm new to this, and not a specialist, so who can edit ? Drobbler ( talk) 19:42, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
