abstract:Leopold Bloom is the fictional protagonist and hero of James Joyce's Ulysses. His peregrinations and encounters in Dublin on 16 June 1904 mirror, on a more mundane and intimate scale, those of Ulysses/Odysseus in The Odyssey.
You might drop into Davy Byrne's where Behan was arrested and Joyce's LeopoldBloom in Ulysses stopped to have a gorgonzola sandwich and a glass of burgundy.
