In "Ulysses", Joyce retells the myth of Odysseus and describes the Greek hero in all his greatness.

Joyce's novel consists of 18 episodes and is set in London

In Joyce's novel, each 

of 18 separate

episodes is dressed in its own separate style, has its individual subject theme,

and is enriched with literary allusions, quotations and a system of symbolic

correspondences (a particular art, colour, human organ, and narrative

technique).

Joyce's novel combines myth and reality. It uses "The Odyssey" as its structure and key.
