The gods of the Iliad have long troubled readers, with many features of their presentation defying satisfactory explanation. This volume presents a new 'metaperformative' approach to the poem's scenes of divine viewing, arguing that the poet uses the gods to model and thereby manipulate the ongoing dynamics of performance and live reception.

Tobias Myers is Assistant Professor of Classics at Connecticut College and holds degrees from the University of Colorado at Boulder and Columbia University. His research focuses primarily on Homer, with additional interests in Greco-Roman literature more broadly, magic and religion, and the history of ideas. Among other topics, he has written on addresses in Theocritus' bucolica, the 'literary cosmology' of Theocritus 2, and the spatio-temporal paradoxes of Iliadic battle scenes. His current projects include a study of Odyssean conceptions of self-knowledge and an attempt to situate Homeric conceptions of time within the larger history of the idea of eternity in the Western tradition.
