| | GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Ulysses - Full Summary and Analysis |
| | Ulysses was pre-warned that the sirens would lure sailors by song and then viciously devour them. | | | While Ulysses was a captive of Calypso who tried to prevent him from reaching his home, Molly holds him captive in his own home. | | | One important difference that becomes even clearer in the "Circe" chapter is the fact that Homer's Ulysses is spared most of the indignities that his crew suffers because of their own immaturity and lack of self-control. |

| | 2blowhards.com: "Ulysses" on Audio |
| | Everyone prefaces their comments on “Ulysses” as “I read it,” or “I didn’t (or couldn’t) read it.” I’d much rather hear from people who have read the work, than from the whiners and naysayers who couldn’t be bothered—which unfortunately, are in high number when it comes to James Joyce. | | | There's a temptation to be overawed by "Ulysses," and to think of it as an object of study and worship instead of as a novel. | | | The "Ulysses" industry was in full flourish, and the English Department's Joyce specialist was The Man. "Difficulty" itself was made a fetish of. |

| | Ulysses is one of those big, mad bellwethers of a book that X will tell you is the biggest, best, most important blah blah blah and Y will tell you is a load of badly written tripe. | | | Joyce noted that his writing skills by the time he got to "Ulysses" were of such an advanced degree that he could do anything he wanted to with the English language, but there's ample evidence in the finished work that such absolute power can corrupt absolutely. | | | William Blake, one of literature's sublime myopics, saw the universe in a grain of sand. |

| | Joyce - Works: Ulysses |
| | Ulysses is never cruel, mean-spirited, or even sardonic: paradoxically, Joyce brings out the nobility of his characters through their very failure to measure up to heroic proportions. | | | As suggested by its very title, Ulysses relates to Homer’s great epic The Odyssey, the tale of Odysseus (known to the Romans as Ulysses) and his travels after the Trojan War. | | | The day in question is Thursday, June 16, 1904 – special to Joyce because it was the day that Nora Barnacle, his future wife, made her fondness clear to him. |
