Ulysses Voyage is named for the famous Voyage made by Ulysses. No civilized man exists who has not come across the Odyssey—the tale of the wanderings of Ulysses—at school, at university, in plays, poetry, history or geography, who has not learnt of the plights and ploys of the "much enduring" Ulysses in the ten years it took him to come home after the fall of Troy.
