Among the Greek roots that remains in the present Spanish there is ξένος with the meaning ‘foreinger’. However, in the classical Greek this word has a large spectrum of additionals meanings attached to the hospitality action. Through a serie of selected pasajes from Xenphon’s Anabasis several of these others senses are showed in the classical attic Greek, with that porpose initially it is compared with βάρβαρος and Ἕλλην and then others usages and customs and its context are commented.
Keywords : Philology; Xenophon; Anabasis; Barbarian; Foreinger; Hospitality.
