...past three or four days, there has been seen, in close proximity of the college, an aged automobile, so ancient in vintage that its counterpart does not survive in the memory of the hoariest of the entering class. Conspicuous among the Packards and Mercedes' of the callow Freshmen, it still retains its brass-bound dignity, and rightly too, for it is a car with a proud past, and needs not defer to any present-day glittering non-entity...

A less obvious parallel: the passage between Scylla and Charybdis, Bloom's walk through the National Library while Stephen and some literary men are discussing Aristotelianism (the rock of Dogma), Platonism (the whirlpool of Mysticism). Ulysses' slaying of Penelope's suitors has its counterpart in Bloom's casting from his mind scruples and false sentiment about himself and Molly. Almost every detail of the Odyssey's action can be found, in disguised form, in Ulysses...
