Resumo

The objective of the research is to establish the connection between the Wandering Rocks mythologeme and the tenth episode of “Ulysses”, and to describe the representation of the mythologeme in the episode. The Wandering Rocks transform in Joyce’s world view into the biblical image of a barrier at the boundary of Eden. While in the Bible the flaming sword which turns every way is analogous to the Wandering Rocks, and the Cherubim is near it, in the literary world of James Joyce the objects of the physical world become the manifestations of the Wandering Rocks with nearby characters performing the function of the Cherubim. Using crypto parody in combination with an element of travesty, Joyce interprets the mythologeme by means of metaphoric comparative concretism. The Bible and the Greek myth are the two sources that can help the reader of the tenth episode to reveal concealed allusions and by doing so to bridge the gaps in meaning. The paper provides the rationalization of the main symbols of the episode from Joyce’s scheme: blood as the blood of Christ, the time of 15.00 as the time of His death on the cross, and mechanics as the science of passing through the Wandering Rocks following in the footsteps of the Savior.
