Stephen Dedalus is James Joyce literary alter ego , as well as protagonist of his first novel semi-autobiographical artistic existence A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and an important character in Joyce monumental Ulysses . A number of critics, like Harold Flower, called Stephen younger as narrator of the first three stories in Dubliners . In

Stephen Hero, an early version of what became Portrait , we find the name written as "Daedalus," an allusion to the more specific Greek mythological figure (while the male Mulligan puts it in Ulysses , "your name absurd, an ancient Greek!") By updating the gigantic significantly Stephen Hero text in much the most compact A Portrait of the Artist as young man, Joyce decided to shorten the name "Dedalus".
