Quote: 
Ulysses
Text: 
This is the first of four instances of "Ulysses" in the text , marking this passage as notable. The character Ulysses appears in Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, Dante's Inferno, and as Odysseus in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. The character's "appearance" in Joyce appears to be part of the latter's 3+1 pattern: or why the number "four" is significant in Joyce's book.

Holohan. You know Hoppy?
Text: 
Hoppy Holohan appears in "A Mother" in Dubliners: <<MR HOLOHAN, assistant secretary of the Eire Abu Society, had been walking up and down Dublin for nearly a month, with his hands and pockets full of dirty pieces of paper, arranging about the series of concerts. He had a game leg and for this his friends called him Hoppy Holohan. He walked up and down constantly, stood by the hour at street corners arguing the point and made notes; but in the end it was Mrs. Kearney who arranged everything.>>
