Which of these authors converted Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey" into the novel "Ulysses"?

The famed author who converted Homer's epic poem "Odyssey" into the novel "Ulysses" was James Joyce. "Ulysses" is a work that roughly matches broad concepts in Homer's "Odyssey".

Joyce's 1922 novel "Ulysses" is a retelling of "Odyssey" set in modern-day Dublin. Each chapter in the book has an assigned theme, technique, and correspondences between its characters and those in Homer's "Odyssey". The novel takes place during one ordinary day in early 20th-century Dublin. In the epic, "Odysseus", a Greek hero of the Trojan War takes 10 years to find his way home on the island of Ithaca.

James Joyce was born in February 1882 in Rathgar, Ireland. He was educated at Clogowes Wood College and Belvedere College before going on to University College where he studied modern languages. After he graduated from the university, he went to Paris, to study medicine. He was recalled to Dublin in April 1903 because of the illness and subsequent death of his mother. He stayed in Ireland until 1904. This is the year he started writing short stories. From 1904 until 1920, in his early twenties, Joyce lived in Switzerland. He next went to Italy for several years and after that he found Paris, France. He would live mostly in Paris for up to 20 years. In 1940, Joyce fled to the south of France ahead of the Nazi invasion. He wrote his novels, a play, and other works during a career of almost 37 years. He died at age of 59 in 1941 in Zurich, Switzerland.
