Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Leopold Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early 20th-century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland's relationship to Britain. The novel is highly allusive and also imitates the styles of different periods of English literature.

Cuenta, Musa, la historia del hΓ©roe que vagΓ³ tanto tiempo despuΓ©s de asolada la ciudad de Troya por sus enemigos. AsΓ ha de rezar aquel poema que narra los horrores que un hombre hubo de soportar por volver con aquellos a quienes mΓ‘s anhelaba, mientras que zarpaba de isla en isla buscando el camino a casa, aΓ±o tras aΓ±o su hogar se llenaba de nobles, pretendientes por la mano de su esposa que la tomaban por viuda, asechΓ‘ndola a ella y a su pobre hijo. Pero este es un poema distinto. ΒΏY si Odiseo hubiera vuelto a Itaca al terminar la guerra? Ya no habrΓan pretendientes que asecharan a su esposa y su trono, ΒΏVerdad? ΒΏPodria su hijo TelΓ©maco vivir en paz al fin? .......................................................... Tell, Musa, the story of the hero who wandered for so long after the city of Troy was devastated by its enemies. This is how that poem should read that tells of the horrors that a man had to endure to return to those he most longed for, while he set sail from island to island looking for his way home, year after year his home was filled with nobles, suitors for the hand of his wife who took her for a widow, stalking her and her poor son. But this is a different poem. What if Odysseus had returned to Ithaca after the war? There would no longer be any suitors to prey on his wife and his throne, right? Could his son Telemachus live in peace at last?Complete
THE ILIAD (Completed)
The Iliad (sometimes referred to as the Song of Ilion or Song of Ilium) is an ancient Greek epic poem in dactylic hexameter, traditionally attributed to Homer. Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. The Iliad is paired with something of a sequel, the Odyssey, also attributed to Homer. Along with the Odyssey, the Iliad is among the oldest extant works of Western literature, and its written version is usually dated to around the 8th century BC. Recent statistical modelling based on language evolution gives a date of 760-710 BC.Complete

Epic: The musical tale of Odysseus and the Odyssey
First things first! I do NOT own the rights to Epic the musical. All rights go to Jorge Rivera-Herrans and the cast who sang in it. Please go check them out especially if you have never listened to the musical. This is a FAN retelling of the musical with more details to make it like a novel. Now then, with that out of the way.... In Greek Mythology, there are Tales, Legends, and Myths of Heroes and Tragedies alike. There's one certain tale that I'd like to unveil, one regarding a king and his plight. One of the perilous journeys of Gods, Monsters, and lessons in Ruthlessness and No Mercy. So sit back and enjoy as I tell you the tale of Odysseus and the Odyssey. Check out Epic the musical on YouTube, Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, or wherever you listen to music.Complete
The Aeneid By Virgil Written 19 B.C.E
The Aeneid is an epic poem written in 12 books and is modeled in part on the great Greek epic poems, on Homer's Iliadand Odyssey, and on Apollonius' Argonautica. The Iliad describes the exploits of Achilles and other Greek heroes in the Trojan War (the same war which forced Aeneas to leave Troy and is described in Book II of the Aeneid) whilst the Odyssey describes how Ulysses (or Odysseus in Greek) wandered for many years, trying to return home after the Trojan War. The first six books of the Aeneid parallel the Odyssey because they describe Aeneas' search for a home. Aeneas even stops in many of the same places that Odysseus did. There is an important difference, however, for whilst Odysseus was trying to return to his original home, Aeneas must find a new place in which to settle and make his home. The second six books parallel the Iliad, for they describe the war in Italy just as the Iliad describes the Trojan War. Again, there are many parallels. For example, the Trojans are besieged inside their fort in Italy just as they were trapped inside Troy. But again there is an important difference, since the Iliad describes how the Trojans lost the war and Troy fell but in theAeneid the Trojans win the war in Italy and get the chance to build a new city. Virgil imitates many scenes from both the Iliad and the Odyssey in his epic, but he always changes them in significant ways so that they illustrate his own Roman themes. One of the most important differences between Homer's epics and the Aeneid is that it can be read as a patriotic poem whilst the Iliad and the Odyssey are poems about individuals and their adventures.Complete
