1 epic poetry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_poetry
An epic (from the Ancient Greek adjective ἐπικός (epikos), from ἔπος (epos) "word, story, poem") is a lengthy narrative poem, ordinarily concerning a serious subject containing details of heroic deeds and events significant to a culture or nation. Milman Parry and Albert Lord have argued that the Homeric epics, the earliest works of Western literature, were fundamentally an oral poetic form. These works form the basis of the epic genre in Western literature. Nearly all Western epic (including Vergil's Aeneid and Dante's Divine Comedy) self-consciously presents itself as a continuation of the tradition begun by these poems. Classical epic continues to employ dactylic hexameter and centers its plots around the theme of a journey, either physical (as typified by Odysseus in the Odyssey) or mental (as typified by Achilles in the Iliad) or both. Epics tend also to highlight cultural norms and to define or call into question cultural values, particularly as they pertain to heroism.

the Aeneid → writing
3 三一律 ( classical unities, Aristotelian unities, or three unities ) → greece story
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_unities
亞里士多德將古希臘戲劇的特點歸納於三一律，即時間的一致，地點的一致和表演的一致。古希臘戲劇的情節通常只發生在一天之內，地點也不變換。在情節上也往往只有一條主線，不允許其他支線情節存在。亞里斯多德的提出「三一律」理論的初衷在於描述一種客觀的形式，而非規定一種理想狀態。並非所有的古希臘戲劇都遵循刻板的「三一律」，但這一理論適用於絕大多數情況。
- The unity of action: a play should have one main action that it follows, with no or few subplots.
- The unity of place: a play should cover a single physical space and should not attempt to compress geography, nor should the stage represent more than one place.
- The unity of time: the action in a play should take place over no more than 24 hours.
4 name: Ulysses
Ulysses is derived from Ulixes, the Latin name for Odysseus, a character in ancient Greek literature.
5 novel: Ulysses (by James Joyce) → 意識流小說
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_(novel)
Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between its characters and events and those of the poem (e.g., the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus).
