I think this is a great podcast and a true community service. But there are a couple of corrections which need to be made. Paris took Menelaus' wife, Helen, with him to Troy, not his daughter, Hermione, whom Helen left behind . Many versions of this myth say that Helen went willingly. Xenia is defined too broadly here. Xenia was strictly related to travel by people from one polis to a different polis or land, including hospitality to total strangers as well as repeat visits by former guest friends; it is not the extension of assistance by one citizen to a needy fellow citizen of the same polis, which was also considered a social good. For example, Athenian chilren of war veterans killed in battle were given support by their fellow Athenians.

There's no proof of a classical myth that says hestia gave up her place among the olympians (but who the twelve are varied place to place so it's no big deal to have dionysus instead of hestia)
