		In the same poem, we have the Homeric Ulysses in his natural size: he is the Great Odysseus who loved the Greek race; the prince of strategies and hero thanks to the perfect function of his mind.
		On the other hand, Seferis' Ulysses is an old man, with white beard, an imposing person, miserable because of his adventures, with reddish eyes and hardened palms because of his seamanship and with hard skin because of exposure to dry winds.
		The Homeric Ulysses was relatively young or rather middle-aged while the Seferis Ulysses was an old man, simple and very similar to the simple people of Greece, calm, natural, without a special linguistic education, the figure that is met everyday in the diachronic process of the cultural tradition of Hellenism.

	THE ODYSSEY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Ulysses got astride of one plank and rode upon it as if he were on horseback; he then took off the clothes Calypso had given him, bound Ino's veil under his arms, and plunged into the sea- meaning to swim on shore.
		Ulysses crept under these and began to make himself a bed to lie on, for there was a great litter of dead leaves lying about- enough to make a covering for two or three men even in hard winter weather.
		She stood right in front of Ulysses, and he doubted whether he should go up to her, throw himself at her feet, and embrace her knees as a suppliant, or stay where he was and entreat her to give him some clothes and show him the way to the town.

		Ulysses rebels against the limits marked by the pillars of Hercules, and his rebellion is akin to that of Lucifer and the rebel angels.
		A key sign of Ulysses' irreducibility, of the fact that he is not just any sinner in Malebolge, is his sustained presence in the poem: he is the only single-episode sinner--with the exception of Nimrod, whom I consider an echoing talisman of overweening pride in human endeavor [13]-- to be named in each canticle.

	Free-TermPapers.com - “Ulysses” By Alfred Lord Tennyson
		Ulysses’ human strengths despite his many weaknesses embodies the will and ability of man, and the audience’s awe-inspired response to his monologue demonstrates the desire of man to elevate and admire the individual who achieves greatness through determination and hard work.
		Ulysses instead yearns for adventure purely for the thrill of it, and he thinks the life of those other than himself too dull to bear.
		The poem “Ulysses” would have been lost in bathos if Tennyson had left his protagonist stuck in the ruts of pride, arrogance, and restlessness all too common to the nature of man. Fortunately, Tennyson gives Ulysses sufficient charisma to keep him the graces of the reader.

	Alfred Tennyson's "Ulysses" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Even though Tennyson said "Ulysses" gave his feeling about Hallam's death and "the need for going forward, and braving the struggle of life," this account of the poem's meaning is inconsistent with the desolate melancholy music of the words themselves.
		Thus the poem is a dramatic representation of a man who has faith neither in the gods nor in the necessity of preserving order in his kingdom and his own life.
		Ulysses is heroic but bewildered, and the structural inconsistencies in the poem are evidence of the author's (or character's) muddled thinking.

		This poem was written near the turn of the twentieth century--an ending, many thought, to an era of romanticism and the beginning of something else--something unknown.
		"Ulysses," the Roman name for the Greek character, Odysseus, is, in fact, a prototypical symbol of the voyager setting out to find his outer limits in an uncharted world.
		In this poem, Ulysses is using his past to launch himself into the future (ll.19-21).

		The whole poem is cast as a lovers' quarrel, filled with bizarre flattery and sly wheedling, The simplest logic behind Tithonus's argument is the strategy of pure pressure: keeping up a steady stream of words, even the same words, until the opponent yields from exhaustion.

		Show the poem to a person who is a lot older than you - perhaps a grandparent or neighbour - and ask him or her to tell you more about any of the chores that they also had to do.
		The structure of the poem is clever - the speaker ends up with the same comment he makes at the start: that war makes people fight when their natural behaviour would be to share a drink together or for one to help the other out with a small loan.
		The poem is consistent in that the poet refers only to natural things or features of the Highland landscape, and he does not introduce himself into the scene, other than in the direct appeal to the reader in the questions of the last stanza.

		When the poem begins, Ulysses is in a reflective mood: he compares his past adventures with the life he lives now as the king of Ithaca.
		By the final section of the poem, Ulysses seems to have made a decision about his future: consider where he is at the beginning of the poem and where he is at the end of the poem, together with the chain of thoughts that have led to his decision.

	LiteratureClassics.com -- Essay -- Tennyson's Ulysses: Odysseus as a Siren (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Tennyson’s Ulysses is, evidently, the perfect Englishman whose “manifest destiny” at home as well as abroad, was to rule women children and whatever “effeminate” peoples they encountered in their mission to expand Pax Britannica and advance civilization.
		In Tennyson’s Ulysses, Odysseus is a figure mainly heroic in his ability to continue in the pursuit of knowledge and adventures regardless of the misfortunes that are bestowed upon him.
		A Deconstructive reading of the poem presents us with a hidden irony throughout the poem; since Odysseus for Tennyson stands for the patriarchal Great Britain, then surely Britain too is to be punished for its arrogant over-expansion as Odysseus was subject to Gods’ nemesis for his own arrogance.
