The Odyssey

 

Ulysses: a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Why the author chose 16 June 1904 was because this day was the first date of James Joyce and his wife Nora Barnacle. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between its characters and events and those of the poem. For example: the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom (Leopold Bloom's wife) to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus.
