Hospitality
Aeschylus, Libation Bearers 668-671 (tr. Herbert Weir Smyth):
‹Older
Strangers, you have only to declare your need, for we have everything that suits this house: warm baths, beds to charm away fatigue, and the presence of honest faces.
ξένοι, λέγοιτ᾽ ἂν εἴ τι δεῖ· πάρεστι γὰρ
ὁποῖά περ δόμοισι τοῖσδ᾽ ἐπεικότα,
καὶ θερμὰ λουτρὰ καὶ πόνων θελκτηρία 670
στρωμνή, δικαίων τ᾽ ὀμμάτων παρουσία.
