James Joyce’s Ulysses is wrapped in legend: the “hardest novel ever written,” the ultimate stream-of-consciousness labyrinth, a one-day retelling of The Odyssey, and the story of one man—Leopold Bloom. Nearly all of that is wrong. This episode dismantles four major myths about Ulysses and shows what the novel actually is: a modernist experiment built on shifting styles, multiple intertwined protagonists, and a subtle, ironic relationship to Homer. We look at the technique, the structure, the characters, the influence of Finnegans Wake, and why understanding the myths makes the book far more approachable.
