Seven years he lorded over Mycenae rich in gold, once he’d killed Agamemnon –he ground the people down. But the eighth year ushered him in his ruin, Prince Orestes home from Athens, yes, he cut him own, that cunning,  murderous Aegisthus, who’d killed his famous father. Vengeance done, he held a feast for the Argives, to bury his hated mother, craven Aegisthus too” (3, 343-350)                                                                      -The quote is recorded from book 3, when Telemachus and Athena travel to Pylos to obtain information about Telemachus’s father.

 After Odyseus and his men are shipwrecked on an island, they take refuge in a cave to rest, an angry Cyclops returns home and treats them with terrible hospitality and demonstrates very poor Xenia. This dishonorable and forbidden actions is reflected back on him as he is shortly blinded.                                                                                                                                                                  -                                                                                                        “Strangers! Who are you? Where did you come from [...] We are greeks, we come here from Troy. The winds have swept us off in all directions across the vast expanse of sea, off course from our planned route back home. Please sir, my lord: respect the gods. We ar eyour suppliants, and Zeus is on our side, science he takes care of visitons guest-friends, and those in need. [...] Well foreigner, you are a fool [...] You order me to fear the gods! [...] Poseidon, the Earth-Shaker, shipwrecked me  at the far end of your island. [...] We barely managed to survive. But he made no reply and showed no mercy. Leaping up high, he reached his hands towards my men, seized two and kicked them hard against the ground.” --                                                                                                                    This quote is captured from book 9, when Odyseus and his men shipwreck on a foreign island, and they take refuge in a cave to rest. When the owner of the cave, a cyclops returns to the cave, he is furious. He is immediately rude to guests, Odyseus tries to reason that they are tired and came to rest after being shipwrecked, but the cyclops doesn’t care. The cyclops shows terrible Xenia, which is forbidden in these times, and starts attacking people in need who have taken refuge in his home. This bad hospitality is reflected back on him, and after drinking wine and eating one of Odyseus’s men, he quickly falls asleep. Then, Odysseus blinds him with his sword, and they are able to escape.

Telemachus delivers a speech before he sets sail to find information of his father, and asks the suitors to stop taking advantage of the palace, but the suitors mock him and are rude to him, Antinous replies rudely and turns the issue on him and his mother, and continues to abuse the law of Xenia.             -                                                                                                                                         “So high and mighty, Telemachus –such unbridled rage! Well now, fling your accusations at us? Think to pin the blame on us? You think again. It’s not the suitors here who deserve the blame, it’s your own dear mother, the matchless queen of cunning.” (2, 91-95)                      Antinous is really rude to Telemachus after he says a really good speech, asking the suitors to refrain from taking advantage of the palace, delivering the speech like a true king, but Antinous is still rude. He turns the problem onto Telemachus so the suitors can still follow him, and he blames it on his mother Penelope. Because of Antinous, the suitors won’t stop abusing the palace, Telemachus and Penelope. He convinces the rest of the suitors that what they are doing is justified, even though it isn’t, and Penelope and Telemachus have to suffer for it. This is really dishonorable and also abuses Xenia and the Gods.
