i just lost a point on my philosophy test because i said φιλία means friendship and the teacher wanted us to say it meant reception/hospitality ?? that’s ζένια wtf. yes they’re linked because strangers/xenoi need to be considered and welcomed as friends/philioi but still. am i wrong or is she just weird

#i am actually angry #her test was dumb #with stupid questions and answers that weren’t in the lesson #but this ??#have i overlooked a meaning of philia ??#idk but Zeus Philios = Zeus of Friendship and Zeus Xenios = Zeus of Hospitality #so why would my answer be wrong #classics student #philosophy student
