Proxeny

Okay kiddo, so there's this thing called proxeny. It's a fancy word that means when someone helps out and does nice things for a visitor or a guest.

You know when your friend comes over to play and your mom gives them snacks and makes sure they're comfortable? That's kind of like proxeny.

In ancient Greece, people did this a lot. They would have someone called a proxenos who would help visitors from other cities feel welcome. The proxenos would make sure they had a place to stay, food to eat, and could even help them make important connections.

So, proxeny is all about being friendly and helpful to people who are new to your town or city. It's a way to show kindness and be a good host.
