"In this chapter, Kiernan's pub is the metaphorical
cave of the cyclops. The people in this pub are
satirized by Joyce as seeing with one eye, like the
cyclops, because of their narrowmindness. Another
theme that is carried through this chapter are the
cylindrical objects with a hot pointed tip like that
of the spear that gourged out Polyphemus' eye. The
reader is also reminded of Bloom's fake name which he
uses to write romantic letters to his "pen pal"
mistress, the name of Henry Flower parallels Odysseus'
name of NOMAN. At the end of the chapter the cyclopian
character, known only as the Citizen, throws a biscuit
at Bloom and misses. This parallels Polyphemus
throwing the rock blindly at Odysseus' ships when he
notices they are gone."

Gurdjieff once said that myth is the language of the
'highter intellectual center'.

thank you Mr. Joyce, thank you.
