Ulysses

Ulysses relates the passage through Dublin of his main character, Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus - both, according to some authors and in accordance with the custom of attributing autobiographical elements to the author's literary works, alter egos: Leopold (old Joyce) and Stephen (young) -, on any given day, June 16, 1904. Joyce chose that date because it was the day she first met with her later partner, Nora Barnacle. The title alludes to the hero of Homer's Odyssey. There is a whole system of parallelism (linguistic, rhetorical and symbolic) between the two works (for example, the correlation between Bloom and Odysseus, as well as that between Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus).
