"Eve of the Festival" is a study of Homeric myth-making in the
first and longest dialogue of Penelope and Odysseus ("Odyssey "19).
This study makes a case for seeing virtuoso myth-making as an
essential part of this conversation, a register of communication
important for the interaction between the two speakers. At the core
of the book is a detailed examination of several myths in the
dialogue in an attempt to understand what is being said and how.
The dialogue as a whole is interpreted as an exchange of
performances that have the eve of Apollo's festival as their
occasion and that amount to activating, and even enacting, the myth
corresponding within the Odyssey to the ritual event of the
festival.
