while the argonautika takes place before the "iliad" and the "odyssey", it was written by an alexandrian librarian, apollonius of rhodes. since the story takes place during greek times, the theme of xenia is shown throughout the story. for example, in book 2, the king of bebrykians, amykos, makes the argonauts fight to be able to leave. polydeukes volunteers himself to participate in the boxing match. this is a clear violation of xenia, and the argonauts become worried when they reach their next destination later on in book 2, when the argonauts are on an island after a storm caused by zeus. the argonauts call out, asking for the strangers to be kind to them and treat them fairly. they realize that jason and the men on the island are related by jason's father's side of the family. the men provide clothing, sacrifice with them, and share a meal before the argonauts leave the island in the morning.
