[edit] Comments

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)

They should certainly be merged. However, I'm against a long title in brakets, possibly just Xenia (Ancient Greece) and then let the article explain the rest? --Falcorian | Talk 16:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Xenos

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)

Split to Xenos (Greek). --Falcorian ^(talk) 22:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lawrence of Greece?

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)

[edit] references

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)

I can't provide one... Haven't heard of her. But yeah, references would be appropriate. --Falcorian ^(talk) 18:50, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
