“How can anyone who, while worshiping Zeus the God of Companions, sees their neighbors in need and does not give them a penny – how can they think they are worshiping Zeus properly?”
— Julian, Emperor of Rome, Letter to Arsacius, High-priest of Galatia (via honorthegods)

Xenia and the masculine form Xenios are epithets of Athena and Zeus, describing them as presiding over the laws of hospitality, and protecting strangers.
He also protects the home, essential needs, and family prosperity, under 2 epithets and 1 daimon.
Zeus cares.
