White lines in the inset are paths that major characters will follow. Normally-red initials turn black at points where that character is being presented in the text.

This sequence is 32 frames spaced at two-minute intervals. If you go all the way thru, there's a 60-second animation of the full sequence, but I don't want people linking directly to the animation because of the bandwidth it consumes, and it's just a meaningless 'ant farm' if you haven't read thru the explanations.

This is based purely on Clive Hart's table in "James Joyce's Ulysses: Critical Essays". The paces set by Lenehan and by the blind stripling seem improbably fast to me, though a brisk pace could cross the width of the map in ten minutes (about a half mile).

At the bottom of each page is an enlarged image for close study.
