The Odyssey portrays the cultural form of gift giving, confirming that social and material gifts were repaid in the form of an exchange. The Greeks referred to this process as Xenia, a social rule whereby one must endeavor to give material and non-material gifts, such as hospitality and food, to a traveler or stranger. It was believed that doing so would put one in favor with the gods.
What better way to begin your St. John's Journey than by following in Odysseus' footsteps? Join us for our Xenia Summer Swap! If you participate, you can exchange gifts with one of your future classmates. During the month of July you will be paired with another future Johnnie to gift and spread some good will!
