Final Jeopardy! category: EUROPEAN LITERATURE

Final Jeopardy! clue: Episodes in this 1922 work include The Lotus Eaters & Ithaca

What is “Ulysses”? (Incorrect responses, if any, and full stats, can be found in the comments section.


Liz 5400 – 5394 = 6 Sally 13900 – 3000 = 10900 (1-day total: $10,900) Joe 14600 – 13201 = 1399

Remember to vote in our Poll of the Week!

As per Sparknotes,

Episode #5 is “The Lotus Eaters”. Episode #17 is “Ithaca”.

This really would have been a better Final Jeopardy last Thursday, what with June 16th being known now as “Bloomsday” (all of the book’s action, of course, takes place on June 16, 1904).

While I haven’t read the book myself, I definitely remember Megan Barnes taunting Steve Bahnaman on Season 1 of “500 Questions”, after Steve missed a question regarding the book’s final word (That word, by the way: “Yes!”)
