Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ulysses, a novel by the Irish writer James Joyce, is a key text of literary modernism. Divided into 18 chapters, it follows the structure of Homer’s Odyssey, the ancient Greek epic poem about Odysseus’s journey home from the Trojan War to his wife Penelope in Ithaca.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Odyssey is Homer’s epic of Odysseus’ 10-year struggle to return home after the Trojan War. While Odysseus battles mystical creatures and faces the wrath of the gods, his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus stave off suitors vying for Penelope’s hand and Ithaca’s throne long enough for Odysseus to return.
