Answer:
yes
Explanation:
three central characters
Stephen Dedalus (the hero of Joyce’s earlier Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man);
Leopold Bloom, a Jewish advertising canvasser;
and his wife, Molly
are intended to be modern counterparts of Telemachus, Ulysses (Odysseus), and Penelope, respectively,
and the events of the novel loosely parallel the major events in Odysseus’s journey home after the Trojan War.
Britannica
Joyce uses irony to represent Penelope as Molly Bloom, who that very afternoon had an adulterous encounter with her lover, Blazes Boylan.

The Remorse of Conscience
The theme of remorse runs through Ulysses to address the feelings associated with modern breaks with family and tradition
sparkntes
Ulysses is the story of a day in the life of Leopold Bloom
he travels Dublin and goes about his business, attending a funeral, buying soap, going to the Library, walking by the beach, going to the pub etc.
But it's a satire so this is all written as if it were a classic epic like The Odyssey, hence the title.
