Extra Credit

1. After Ulysses, Pete, and Delmar fell off of the train, they encounter a blind man on a rail cart. They hop on, and the man tells the future. This is similar to Tiresias, the blind prophet in the Underworld who told Odysseus's future.

2. Big Dan Teague tried to mug them. He only had one eye (his other was blind). Then he was stabbed in his good eye. This is very similar to Polyphemus, the Cyclops who captured Odysseus and his crew. Then, they escaped by stabbing him in the eye.

3. Ulysses name is the Latin version for the name Odysseus. So, there names are practically the same, and they are both the protagonists.
