This paper deals with the song as hospitality starting from chapter VIII of the Odyssey of Homer (vv. 499 - 534), in which the song of Demodocus is related in the context of the reception of Odysseus by the Phaeacians. The text is structured in three moments: Demodocus as the singer of hospitality, the song as a hospitable reality and Odysseus in his condition as a guest listening to the song.
