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 \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e to the ritual event of the festival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olga Levaniouk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674053354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674053359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.78d","brand":"Olga Levaniouk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925550170367,"sku":"9780674053359","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_097502ba-d93e-427e-820d-b8d33cf285d8.jpg?v=1681077936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eve-of-the-festival-olga-levaniouk-9780674053359","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
