This can be found in almost all of the chapters of the Odyssey.
- Hospitality is shown in book 9, Odysseus abuses the custom of hospitality by stealing cheese and eating it and then saying that out of hospitality, the cyclops were to supply them with what they need and that they would welcome them and give gifts to them.
