Emily and Kyle talk about the etiquette of entertaining, the traditions of travel, and the xenophilic history of xenial.
You might recognize this word from the FENIX Trophy acronym or from the city of Xenia, Ohio. But, in fact, xenial goes all the way back to Ancient Greece! Emily and Kyle learn about, how to be the best host and guest, the precise rules of Greek hospitality, and how this can make or break a friendship.
They also learn some pretty good reasons that you should be kind to the xenos, or stranger, at your door. For all you know, it could be one of the Greek gods, a Biblical angel, or a vengeful sorceress in disguise. If you don’t believe it, just give Beauty and the Beast another look!
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
