    When Zeus Came Knocking

    A visit by Zeus and Hermes to an old couple’s home in ancient Greece sparked a tradition that goes on even today. All ancient Greeks knew that hospitality to strangers could bring fortune. Inhospitality could lead to divine punishment.

    Violation of this tradition led to the Trojan war. Its unusual name — philoxenia — was one known to all Greeks.

    Listen as we encounter Hermes, Athene, Zeus, Demeter, Dionysus, Poseidon and the great hero Odysseus.

    Then in 335 BC, Alexander the Great surrounded Thebes and brought it to its final end.
