"I’ll show you the very palace that you’re after –
the king lives right beside my noble father.
Come, quietly too, and I will lead the way.
Now not a glance at anyone, not a question.
The men here never suffer strangers gladly,
have no love for hosting a man from foreign lands."
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 7, lines 32-37. Athena, in the disguise of a young girl, offers to show Odysseus to Alcinous’ palace. She warns him not to expect any great welcome, for the inhospitable Phaeacians are somewhat xenophobic and suspicious of strangers.
