Banned in the United States and United Kingdom throughout the 1920s, Ulysses turned conventional ideas of the novel inside out with its bold new form, style and theme. Deeply rooted in the Greek myth of the hero of the Trojan War, Joyce bases his novel on Ulysses or Odysseus, who is doomed to voyage for ten years before returning home to Ithaca. Joyce had been deeply influenced by the Iliad and the Odyssey, which he had read from Charles Lamb's adaptations as a child. In fact, he considered ...

How do you create while dealing with depression, grief, addiction, anxiety, or other mental health issues? When trying to create and stay well feels like walking through a labyrinth, how to do you find your way? My favorite story about finding your way is the Labyrinth of Minos in Greek mythology. In the myth, a hero navigates through a maze—the Labyrinth—by unrolling and following a thread secretly given to him. Navigating uncertainty is about figuring out which threads to follow. The Labyr ...

We also explore modern links to Greek and Roman mythology, whether we're talking about the solar system ...

Undeterred, the gods patiently waited until they discovered a rather unorthodox solution for their communication conundrum. Mortal ...
