	Introductions to Lestrygonians
		A shore party from the ships anchored in the bay is lured by a "stalwart / young girl" (10:105-6; ibid.) to the lodge of her father, Antiphates, king of the Lestrygonians.
		The king turns out to be a giant and a cannibal, who promptly eats one of the shore party and then leads his tribe in the destruction of all the land-locked ships and the slaughter of their crews.
		Beguiled by a girl sent by the king of the Lestrygonians, the other crews attend a party at which the king turns cannibal and eats one of his guests.

	Lestrygonians: Homeric Parallel
		They reach the island of the Lestrygonians, where all the ships except Odysseus's anchor in a "curious bay" (10:87; Fitzgerald, p.
		180) to the lodge of her father, Antiphates, king of the Lestrygonians.
		The king turns out to be a giant and a cannibal, who promptly eats one of the shore party and then leads his tribe in the destruction of all the landlocked ships and the slaughter of their crews.

	The New York Review of Books: The New 'Ulysses': The Hidden Controversy
		Gabler argued in his preface that "Lestrygonians" did not derive directly from the Rosenbach Manuscript, but that both the Rosenbach and the typescript derived collaterally from a lost working draft.
		By January of 1983, Gaskell had become sharply critical of Gabler's most recent work—apparently on "Aeolus," "Lestrygonians" (again), and "Scylla and Charybdis." In each case, Gaskell objected to the authority Gabler was giving to the Rosenbach Manuscript over the typescript, proofs, and printed texts.
		In contrast to "Lestrygonians," "Cyclops" and "Eumaeus" descend directly from the Rosenbach Manuscript, and thus pose fewer editorial problems that might provoke Gaskell's and Hart's criticism of Gabler's methods.

	CliffsNotes::Ulysses:Book Summary and Study Guide
		In Homer’s epic, many of Odysseus’s men are devoured by the giant, cannibalistic tribe of Lestrygonians, and this particular episode of the novel is filled with many allusions to eating, a good number of them alluding to disgusting eating practices.
		The opening pages of “The Lestrygonians” record Bloom’s sensitivity towards the passing things of life and remind the reader that Joyce’s novel is about the humanity that exists behind the common events of daily existence.
		No matter how often Bloom thinks of the happy times that he has shared with Molly, especially those before the death of their son, Rudy, ten years before (the last time the couple had complete sexual intercourse), the specter of Boylan overshadows his present moments.

		Had Odysseus known the diet of the "strong Lestrygonians," he would certainly have dissuaded his companions from mooring their ships between the jutting cliffs of the port of Lamos.
		In the Lestrygonian episode, however, the "need for food" theme dominates all others and is developed to a climax of disgust, followed by a quiet close--Bloom's frugal collation of a sandwich and glass of wine.
		The callous king Antiphates is symbolized by Bloom's imperious hunger; the sight and reek of food are the decoy, his daughter, and the horde of the Lestrygonians may be likened to the teeth, Homer's "hedge of teeth," a palisade of hungry sentinels.

	REPORT ON JAMES JOYCE'S ULYSSES
		It is Bloom's own continuous hunger which symbolizes the pitiless King Antiphates, and the visions and aromas of the food he encounters parallel the "decoy" figure of Antiphates' daughter.
		In a literal sense, the Lestrygonians are symbolized by the body part of the teeth, as well as by those creatures throughout the episode who consume food (Gilbert 210).
		Bloom's vision of the diners in the Burton parallels Odysseus' view of the ravenous, cannibalistic Lestrygonians: "Stink gripped his trembling breath: pungent meatjuice, slop of greens.

		The practical work of the stonemasons is also prominent in ‘Lestrygonians.’ The art of the chapter is architecture.
		The most frequent habit in "Lestrygonians" is for Bloom’s monologue to interrupt conversation.
		The dialogue in "Lestrygonians" is fairly conventional, except for the insistent breaking in of Bloom’s monologue.

	REPORT ON JAMES JOYCE'S ULYSSES
		Having bought his paper, Bloom sees Blazes Boylan for the third time (he sees him while riding in the carriage in the Hades episode and then hides from him in the museum at the end of the Lestrygonians episode) and decides to follow him into the Ormond Hotel bar.
		The episode ends with a bang when Bloom, while examining a picture of Robert Emmet (another failed Irish hero), supplies his own musical note to the orchestra, a loud "pprrpffrrppfff" (291) or fart.
		And, of course, it was Bloom's act of kindness as a Good Samaritan helping the blind piano tuner across the street in the Lestrygonians episode that made it possible for him to arrive at the Ormond Hotel bar and tune the piano in preparation for the musical interlude supplied by Joyce in this episode.

		In "Lestrygonians," Joyce describes food as both pleasurable ("Glowing wine on his palate lingered swallowed") and repulsive...
		The Sirens' spell is broken at the end of "Ladies of the Road" allowing the album's protagonist to gain spiritual nourishment from the "Song of the Gulls," the album's next track.
		"Lestrygonians," is devoted to an exploration of various facets of food, an exploration that becomes increasingly cannibalistic.

		Some puzzles are never solved: in Lestrygonians, an insulting postcard bears the message "U.P.", but why the message is insulting is never revealed, while in Hades the confusion over the identity of a mysterious man wearing a Macintosh is never cleared up.
