"What softens the heart of a man, shipwrecked in storms dire, Tired, like another Ulysses, Pericles, prince of Tyre?" ( U 9.402-04). ( OED) Used as the type of a traveller or adventurer occasionally, also, of a crafty and cleaver schemer. In this way, Ulysses is reduced to "useless"-a reference that is either mixed up or goes over everyone's heads-despite the fact that the novel is named for him, undermining our notions of what makes a mythic hero. Such a reading feeds into the deconstruction of the hero so prevalent in Ulysses scholarship ( see Mahaffey) as well as the comical degradation the protagonists face throughout the work. These three examples of the name Ulysses all share a common theme: not only are they not in reference to Odysseus from The Odyssey, but they are also subject to mistaken identity, their heroic statuses being reduced to comic misunderstanding.

Interestingly, one of the references to Ulysses as being made to "quote Aristotle" is incorrect, for "it is Hector and not Ulysses who 'quotes' Aristotle in Troilus and Cressida" ( Gifford 248). Since the play is centered around two Trojan lovers, the Greek character Ulysses is cast as a sly, almost villainously cunning character, and possesses some of the most memorable and lengthy speeches in the work ( "Troy, yet upon his basis, had been down."). Although we probably assume that the name Ulysses will invoke the Romanized version of Homer's Odysseus, within the novel the name is mentioned most often in reference to a Shakespearian incarnation of the famous hero in the play Troilus and Cressida.
Interestingly, the name is an auditory anagram for the word " useless" ("uselyss"), giving readers a coincidence begging to be explored. As the namesake of Joyce's novel, Ulysses demands attention.
