Ulysses seeks to provide business technological services to the marine industry based upon advanced telecommunications and information systems that help people work intuitively without special software training, and make information processing fundamentally more efficient.

The structure of Ulysses parallels symbolically the structure of Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey. In both works, a man goes on a journey, encountering a variety of people and situations along the way. However, the journey in Homer’s work lasts ten years, whereas the journey in Joyce’s work lasts about 18½ hours. The main characters in Ulysses ... parallel the main characters in The Odyssey. Thus, Joyce’s Leopold Bloom becomes Homer’s Odysseus (Roman name, Ulysses); Stephen Dedalus becomes Telemachus, the son of Odysseus; Molly Bloom becomes Penelope, the wife of Odysseus; and Blazes Boylan becomes a representative of all the suitors wooing Penelope. Joyce’s characters are ordinary and unheroic in contrast to Homer’s extraordinary and heroic characters.
