I mean, I think one of the big themes of the Odyssey that very much resonates with our time is the importance of welcoming the stranger into your house.
I mean, the whole poem is about hospitality and about the fact that the suitors of Odysseus have abused his hospitality by going into his house and hitting on his wife without being invited to do so.
Absolutely.
It's all about the violations of hospitality and then the dangers of what happens when hospitality is violated and when people don't recognize that the poor and strangers are blessed by Zeus.
No one belongs everywhere, right?
And the poem really teaches you that.
It was a great pleasure for me.
Thank you so much.
It's always so lovely to talk to you, Madeline.
You're a great host.
Thank you.
Yes, you are.
I hope we were okay being guests.
You were wonderful guests.
