Greek hero from Homer's Illiad and Odyssey. He was a very smart and cunning king (king of Ithica) who came up with the idea of the 'Trojan Horse' to win the war for the Greeks. It took Ulysses 10 years to find his way home after the war. The Illiad and especially the Odyssey are two of the greatest stories ever told.

An impossibly dense, difficult, and meandering novel written by James Joyce that all English Literature majors claim to enjoy, but secretly despise. The best part is the ending, when you know you don't have to read another page of metaphors, allusions, and vague references that lead nowhere.
Some guy: "Fellow literature student, did you like 'Ulysses' by James Joyce?"
Some other guy: "Sure did! Each and every new paragraph was a window into a new and exciting literary expedition!"
*Meanwhile, God kills a baby kitten for the above student's lies*
