So i don’t think of myself as a knowledgeable scholar of ancient Greece

more an interested observer who enjoys collecting and connecting bits of lore as a hobby…. and has been doing that more and more, as I’ve slid deeper into the very classically-inspired Tron fandom

But one thing that’s intriguing me now:

I’ve posted before about the different kinds of love recognized in ancient Greece (Eros Philia Agape etc) and how I imagine they apply to the Tron world

And I’ve noticed lists of Greek words for love often include Xenia, which a host and guest are supposed to express for each other.

More a code of hospitality rules than an emotion, but definitely an important relationship in ancient Greece

And with Xenia being discussed more and more in the context of that Odyssey adaptation, I’m getting some half-formed thoughts about how Tron (1982) approaches that.

….I don’t exactly have time or energy or even sufficient ideas right now to explore it.

But just based on the discussion I’ve seen, I have a feeling it would be hilarious to try and list all the ways Xenia was violated by… MCP, Flynn, and basically everyone.

go wild.
