      ab: The author believes that Irish author James Joyce's source material for the "Oxen of the Sun" episode of his novel "Ulysses" was an evangelist named Billy Sunday. Sunday's history and popularity are discussed as is his proclivity for complicated epithets like those found in "Ulysses." Some scholars believe that the source of influence was preacher John Alexander Dowie. The author cannot explain how Joyce became aware of Sunday, but he points to a transcript of a sermon that mimics "Ulysses."
