Abstract
The work proposes a reflection on the importance of hospitality in the Homeric texts and in the book of Genesis 18-19. From the examples analyzed in the Iliad and Odyssey it is concluded that the custom in question was central to the ancients, to the point of building iron ties between the host and the guest who continued in his descendants. The book of Genesis also offers examples in which the good reception of a foreigner is rewarded by God and the aggression to this one, severely punished.
