Homer's epic Greek poem The Odyssey is about a great warrior, Odysseus (Ulysses, in Latin), who tries to return home after the Trojan
War. The gods make his journey long and difficult, causing him to
travel widely, having many adventures. Meanwhile, his wife Penelope
must deal with suitors who, thinking her husband is dead, have invaded
her home.
In James Joyce's novel Ulysses, two characters, Stephen and Bloom,
go about their daily business in the city of Dublin. Stephen's home is
occupied by roommates who appear to be taking over his apartment.
Bloom's home is periodically invaded by a man who pursues his wife,
Molly
Which statement best explains how the modern story transforms the ideas of
the original myth?

return home from a war, either because one has personally
changed or one's home has changed.
B. Joyce expresses his opinion that the journey of Odysseus is minor
compared to the ordinary pursuits of a modern person.
C. Joyce emphasizes the suffering of his Penelope-inspired
character to make his story more tragic than the original myth.
D. Joyce makes the idea of an invaded home more personal for
readers by writing about two ordinary people in a modern city
rather than about a mythical Greek warrior.
