This was an interesting read! And fun to find the inspiration for Nolan’s ‘Zeus’ Law’ in there as well:
Xenia (ξενία, xenía) is an ancient Greek concept of hospitality, “guest-friendship”, or “ritualized friendship”. It was a social institution requiring generosity, gift exchange, and reciprocity.[15]Hospitality towards foreigners and traveling Hellenes was understood as a moral obligation under the patronage of Zeus Xenios and Athene Xenia. Many understand the Odyssey as a story principally concerned with the concept. For instance, the failure of the Suitors of Penelope to appropriately welcome disguised Odysseus into his own home can be seen as justification for their subsequent demise.[16]
