		Set in 1904, the Dublin of Ulysses is a city in which the heated discussions of political independence, violence in response to British military occupation and the veneration of fallen heroes, run parallel to the academic "parlor-talk" of the Irish literary renaissance, the rebirth of the Irish language and the rejection of Anglophilic culture.
		When James Joyce began writing his novel Ulysses, he had in mind a creative project that brought together aspects of his two major works Dubliners and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, while at the same time incorporating aspects of Homer's epic The Odyssey.

		A modular spacecraft is what Ulysses has to his discretion, it can be combined into one all fighter craft or split into a cruising shuttle, a flying saucer or a fighting rocket ship.
		Watching Ulysses now i'm suprised to find how grown up some of the plots and the overall style of the cartoon is. They dont make em like that anymore hehe.
		The Odyssey itself looks very similar to the ship in "2001 : A Space Odyssey", it looks a little vulnerable though with a huge iris at its centre.

	Ulysses 31 Anime Review by Ric (Webmaster)
		Design-wise Ulysses 31 is awesome, the ships and costumes have an excellent futuristic feel as well as a sense of practicality and, despite some obvious liberties being taken, Greek mythology is also handled well.
		The story is simple: Spaceship Captain Ulysses defies the Gods and kills the giant robot Cyclops to rescue his son.
		Combining a classic story with the gung-ho space adventures popular at the time (aspects of Japanese series like Space Battleship Yamato and American series like Buck Rogers and Battlestar Galactica are very apparent), Ulysses 31 proved popular with children and adults alike.

	DVDAnswers.com - DVD Reviews - Ulysses 31: Volume One (Region 2)
		The plot of the show is fairly simple: Ulysses and his son, Telemachus, are returning home to Earth aboard their spaceship, the Odyssey, when Telemachus is kidnapped by a mysterious ball of energy and transported to a nearby planet.
		Ulysses 31 arrives on DVD in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1, but it suffers from a number of visual problems.
		Ulysses rescues his son, but in doing so he kills the Cyclops and incurs the wrath of Zeus himself.

	TGOL - Southern Cross/Calypso/Calypso I/Azure Seas/OceanBreeze
		In January 1973, the ship was sold to Cia de Vapores Cerulea SA of Ithaka, which was the trading name of the Ulysses Line Ltd. Renamed Calypso, the ship was then sent to Piraeus that same March.
		In a way, it is ironic that the Southern Cross, a ship that with her innovative engine arrangement in a sense is a forerunner of most modern ships, is still around for her piece of the pie.
		The blocks that had held the ship in position had been knocked away in preparation for the launch, and it would not be safe to delay it for more than half an hour.

	Ulysses 31: The Complete Series (1981 / 2004)
		When Ulysses’ son, Telemachus, is abducted to a planet that worships a mechanical Cyclops, Ulysses goes after his son to rescue him.
		The story starts when Ulysses and his crew on board of the spaceship Odysseus leave the space station of Troy to find their way back to Earth.
		The inspiration for the artwork obviously comes from movies like Star Wars (Ulysses wields a light sabre) and 2001: A space Odyssey (a talking ship’s computer, suspended animation units).

	Was Ulysses S. Grant an anti-Semite?
		Grant's relationship with Jesse Grant is a fascinating psychological contradiction, and there is little doubt the elder Grant drove his son to fits of despair.
		His only concern, as he frequently stated, was "to put down the Rebellion." When Jesse and the Macks arrived in Mississippi in late 1862, they wanted permits to buy cotton and ship huge cratefuls north.
		Grant desperately wanted his father's approval, but the cantankerous old man was so different from his son that intimacy was impossible.

	The Ulysses S. Grant Association Newsletter
		General Grant decided to remain all night at Farmville and await the reply from Lee, and he was shown to a room in the hotel in which he was told that Lee had slept the night before, although this statement could not be verified.
		General Prentiss having, as has been seen, a reasonable expectation of being the first in command in that part of the country and leader of the main expedition southward, was exceedingly exasperated at finding himself subordinate to General Grant, as can readily be understood.
		General Prentiss had, under excitement, on the spur of the moment, tendered his resignation but after the conference with General Fremont he was induced to withdraw it on the assurance that he would be assigned to an adequate command.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Ship of Fools
		Her only long novel, Ship of Fools, substantially different in texture from the shorter fiction, nevertheless deserves a respected place in the aggregate of her reputation when the novel is rightfully considered for what it is and what it is not.
		Ship of Fools comprises a voyage of the North German Lloyd S.A. Vera from Veracruz, Mexico, to Bremerhaven, Germany, from August 22 to September 17, 1931.
		Calling Porter’s novel a “masterpiece” that would take its place among the best books of the century, he compared it with George Eliot’s Middlemarch and James Joyce’s Ulysses.
