In "The Odyssey," King Alcinous receives Odysseus with great hospitality and respect. Upon finding Odysseus shipwrecked on the shores of his island, he welcomes him to his palace, offering food, shelter, and entertainment. Alcinous listens attentively to Odysseus's story and promises to help him return to his homeland, demonstrating the values of xenia, or guest-host relationship, that are central to Greek culture. This warm reception ultimately sets the stage for Odysseus to recount his adventures and seek assistance for his journey home.
