Udysses Orte in Dublin!

Joyce first encountered the figure of Odysseus/Ulysses in Charles Lamb's Adventures of Ulysses, an adaptation of the Odyssey for children, which seems to have established the Latin name in Joyce's mind. At school he wrote an essay on the character, entitled "My Favourite Hero".^[6][7] Joyce told Frank Budgen that he considered Ulysses the only all-round character in literature.^[8] He thought about calling his short-story collection Dubliners (1914) by the name Ulysses in Dublin,^[9] but the idea grew from a story written in 1906 to a "short book" in 1907,^[10] to the vast novel that he began in 1914.
