	Daedalus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For Minos' wife, Pasiphae, Daedalus built a wooden cow so she could mate with the bull, for the Greeks imagined the Minoan bull of the sun to be an actual, earthly bull.
		In the period of Romanticism, Daedalus came to denote the classic artist, a skilled mature craftsman, while Icarus symbolizes the romantic artist, an undisputed heir of the classic artist, whose impetuous, passionate and rebellious nature, as well as his defiance of formal aesthetic and social conventions, ultimately prove to be self destructive.
		Stephen Dedalus is the main character in Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce, as well as an important character in Joyce's Ulysses, and is often considered to be based on Joyce himself.

	SparkNotes: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man: Chapter 4, Sections 2–3
		Stephen wonders why the director makes mention of skirts, and it occurs to him that the priest may be testing Stephen's response to the mention of women.
		When Stephen sees his disorderly house, he knows that his fate is to learn wisdom not in the refuge of the church, but "among the snares of the world." Arriving home, he asks his brothers and sisters where their parents are.
		In Greek mythology, Daedalus was a renowned craftsman who built a pair of wings for himself and a pair for his son, in an attempt to escape imprisonment on the island of Crete.

		Stephen melds these two historical tales together by expressing his oppression, his quest for freedom, and his yearnings for liberation through the intelligent art of writing.

		Stephen, who rejected the church, hears the call of flight of Daedalus and Icarus, he felt "a desire to cry aloud, the cry of a hawk or eagle on high" (150).

		Stephen came seldom to lectures, prepared nothing and absented himself from term examinations and not merely was no remark passed on these extravagances but it was supposed probable that he represented really the artistic type and that he was, after the fashion of that little known tribe, educating himself.
		Stephen was captivated first by the evident excellence of the art: he was not long before he began to affirm, out of a sufficiently scanty knowledge of the tract, of course, that Ibsen was the first among the dramatists of the world.
		Stephen read out the essay to her slowly and emphatically and when he had finished reading she said it was very beautifully written but that as there were some things in it which she couldn't follow, would he mind reading it to her again and explaining some of it.

		Stephen and his classmates learned their catechism- the summary of the principles of the faith- which is based on the existence of the Holy Trinity- Father (God), Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit)- as one.
		Stephen is accused of heresy by his English teacher in Chapter Two because a sentence in his essay has strayed in a minor way from accepted theory.
		Stephen's opinions on art and his own attempts at writing, as evidenced by the villanelle he writes in Chapter Five, suggest to some that he is not talented enough to justify his self-appointed role as a priest of art.

		The judgments are in effect apologies for Stephen, assertions which have their origin in the author 's embarrassed awareness that he has not been able to project as objective the inward grounds which memory gives him for feeling with Stephen as he does.
		The fact that Stephen inside and the author outside the novel cooperate in the construction of a single artificial symbolic matrix is to be understood as implying, like every other aspect of the book, their ultimate identity and their common sense of his mysterious mission.
		The fact is that he was exaggerating Stephen 's maturity ‑‑ giving him the capacity to express objectively and explicitly what Joyce at the corresponding chronological point had been able to express only as a confused and nearly inchoate intuition in the original "Portrait of the Artist" sketch.

	Joyce's Women
		Central to the experiences of Stephen's life are, of course, the people with whom he interacts, and of primary importance among these people are women, who, as his story progresses, prove to be a driving force behind Stephen's art.
		Stephen also displays his growing knowledge of the differences between men and women when he observes that she has "long thin cool white hands too because she [is] a girl" (286).
		Stephen's understanding of the woman's role in this process changes from one in which women's actions themselves are inspiration to one in which female figures are the external deliverers of inspiration, and finally to one in which he internalizes completely their role as mediators between experience and art.

		Joyce first shows Stephen’s soft memories of what it was like to be young, almost infantile in the first few sentences but by the end of the chapter he is a young, fearful servant of God, a role that beleaguers him throughout childhood.
		Daedalus was a man more notably the father of the famous Icarus, who flew too close to the sun, yadda yadda.
		Stephen Daedalus therefore is both the martyr and the clever (sometimes too much for his own good) artist.

		Stephen's decision at the end of the novel—to leave his family and friends behind and go into exile in order to become an artist—suggests that Joyce sees the artist as a necessarily isolated figure.
		When Stephen prays in church despite the fact that he has committed a mortal sin, Joyce transcribes a long passage of the Latin prayer, but it is clear that Stephen merely speaks the words without believing them.

	CliffsNotes::Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man:Book Summary and Study Guide
		Stephen is a keenly intelligent, sensitive, and eloquent young man, but he also possesses the feelings of urgent sexuality, selfdoubt, and insecurity—all universal emotions which are experienced during the development of the average adolescent male.
		Stephen’s thoughts, associations, feelings, and language (both cerebral and verbal) serve as the primary vehicles by which the reader shares with Stephen the pain and pleasures of adolescence, as well as the exhilarating experiences of intellectual, sexual, and spiritual discoveries.
		The myth of Daedalus and Icarus, the story of the cunning Greek inventor and his ill-fated, impetuous son, is the framework responsible for the major imagery and symbolism which pervade the novel.

	Daedalus and Odysseus: Two Mythic Heroes Influencing Fatherhood as Represented in James Joyce’s Ulysses
		The strength of Stephen’s identity is evident by the notion that he is not led astray by suggestions by both an Italian Almidano Artifoni (in Wandering Rocks) and Leopold (in Eumeaus) of pursuing a singing career.
		Stephen’s problem is that he needs to find a safe path in order to accomplish his goal of becoming an artist.
		Stephen is not a carbon copy of the character Telemachus and Leopold certainly is not a carbon copy of the character Odysseus.

	Ulysses by James Joyce: Episode 2 - Nestor
		A poor soul gone to heaven: and on a heath beneath winking stars a fox, red reek of rapine in his fur, with merciless bright eyes scraped in the earth, listened, scraped up the earth, listened, scraped and scraped.
		Stephen's embarrassed hand moved over the shells heaped in the cold stone mortar: whelks and money, cowries and leopard shells: and this, whorled as an emir's turban, and this, the scallop of Saint James.
		He peered from under his shaggy brows at the manuscript by his elbow and, muttering, began to prod the stiff buttons of the keyboard slowly, some times blowing as he screwed up the drum to erase an error.

	Stephen Dedalus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stephen Dedalus was James Joyce's literary alter ego, as well as the central protagonist and antihero of two of his early works: Stephen Hero, and Joyce's semi-autobiographical novel of artistic existence A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
		Upon significantly revising the mammoth Stephen Hero text into the much more compact A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Joyce opted to shorten the name to "Dedalus" (as Buck Mulligan puts it in Ulysses, "Your absurd name, an ancient Greek!") Stephen Dedalus also appears in Ulysses as a parallel to Telemachus.
		Some critics suggest that Stephen's surname also reflects the labyrinthine quality of Stephen's developmental journey in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

		From an early point in his conscious development, Stephen perceives the world in dualities, or "complementary pairs." This perception of duality exists towards the female throughout the whole of the novel, and can be understood in terms of Mother and Child, Virgin and Whore, and the Catholic Virgin versus the Bird-Girl.
		Kershner argues that this is a microcosm of Stephen's life, and that his struggles in the book represent his need to find an 'invisible', unobserved place within the panopticon of colonial society; its Stephen's struggle to be 'self-fashioned," rather than watched and categorized as simply another member of a subject race by anonymous colonizing-authoritarian forces.
		Stephen works, consciously or not, at every step to see himself as a genius, which means, according to familiar conceptions, that he be both superhuman in his poetic and inventive facilities and subhuman in his susceptibility to the 'fairer sex' and to vice.

		Lynch complains that Stephen failed to woo Emma because he refused to use the accepted conventions of courtship.
		Stephen attacks that strategy as insane, employing a familiar tenet of free-love -- that an innate male tendency for promiscuity makes false any promise "before the world to love a woman till death part him and her" (201).
		As Stephen and Lynch continue to argue, the young artist abandons his exploration of the essential nature of the sexes and begins to examine the peculiar "custom" of marriage, specifically, the Irish Catholic custom as it was practiced at the turn of this century, and how it affects men and women.

		The historical figure of Parnell depicted as uncrowned king, betrayed, denied, and awaiting resurrection, the mythology under which Stephen and Joyce are raised, is, in Girard's sense, a "religious" interpretation of violent unanimity, perfectly consistent with violence as the sacred.
		Stephen's answer to suffering the fate of Icarus, fading out in the sun, is to imagine himself, like certain other self-composed Dubliners, composing "in his mind from time to time a short sentence about himself containing a subject in the third person and a predicate in the past tense" (D, 108).
		Stephen is likewise excluded from the "simple fact" of his Father's love; he finds, in the imagery of the Trinity, the Father in self-contemplation begetting the Son, easier of acceptance.

		In 1930, Stuart Gilbert, while also claiming that Stephen Dedalus is a self-portrait, adds that "Stephen Dedalus represents only one side of the author of Ulysses, "and that in the character of Leopold Bloom, "the balance is redressed" (102).
		While working on Stephen Hero, Joyce rather muddlesomely signed some of his correspondence as "Stephen Daedalus"; [1] and while working on Ulysses, he tried to change his life to resemble his fiction.
		If we believe Stephen to be an autobiographical character, then what he argues regarding the biographic bearing in Shakespeare's plays should be crucial, for we can interpret the argument as a reflexive statement pertaining to James Joyce, the original model for the self-portrait.

		Best read aloud, Joyce's description of the early life of Stephen Daedalus, drawn from his own life, displays the color and imagination of the finest fiction.
		At the end of the novel, Stephen is about to forsake Dublin for Paris.
		Joyce, in PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST, was an early practitioner of the stream-of-consciousness technique, by means of which Stephen's interior life and growing self-awareness are rendered directly, so that the reader has access not only to his conscious thoughts but to his unconscious as well.
