Description

This history of ancient diplomacy demonstrates how the ancient Greeks used guest-friendship as a mechanism of diplomacy.

Ancient proxenoi were the equivalent of contemporary consul-generals and they served some of the same purposes.

The proxenoi conducted the diplomatic affairs of the state they represented and looked after the interests of the city-state that had adopted them.

In times of war the proxenoi maintained spies and supplied intelligence on the movements of fleets and armies.
