Bloom attends a funeral at Glasnevin Cemetery, his symbolic encounter with death mirroring Odysseus’s descent into Hades. It’s a real barrel of laughs. |

It’s lunchtime, so Bloom stops at Davy Byrne’s “moral pub” for a gorgonzola sandwich and a glbum of burgundy. He then pays a call to the National Library where he overhears Stephen sounding off about Shakespeare. |

Lots of short episodes. Lots of different characters. All connected by a Vice-Regal parade from one side of town to the other. |

In a chapter full of song – Joyce’s allusion to Homer’s deadly Sirens – Bloom narrowly avoids meeting Molly’s lover, concert promoter Blazes Boylan. |

Bloom has an argument with a pub bore whose blinkered anti-Semitism mirrors Homer’s one-eyed Cyclops. He exits, closely followed by a cake tin. |

As evening falls, Bloom sees two young girls on the beach and masturbates in a chapter written in the florid style of a romantic penny-dreadful. |

Stephen and Bloom meet at last in a maternity hospital in a chapter whose structure is meant to represent both the nine months of pregnancy and the birth of the English language. And they say this book is hard. |

READER (horrorstruck) Blimey, this looks like heavy going.
STEPHEN’S DEAD MOTHER No kidding! There’s over 100 pages of this stuff, all written in the style of a play script. But all you need to know is that Bloom follows Stephen to a brothel where they have lots of freaky hallucinations. |

Q. What happens next?
A. Bloom and Stephen walk back to Eccles Street. Bloom offers Stephen a bed for the night but Stephen refuses and leaves. Bloom goes to bed. The section is written in a question-and-answer format like a religious catechism |
