Variations in the portraiture of a mythical figure by W. B. STANFORD
Regius Professor of Greek, University of Dublin 4: The Wanderer
The fourth face of Ulysses is essentially a modern one. A compulsive wanderer, sometimes his motive is, as in Dante and Kazantzakis, an insatiable desire for knowledge and experience. With other writers, such as Pascoli and to some extent Tennyson, he is driven by a feeling of frustration and despair
