Abstract
The note starts from the opening sentence of Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and its emphasis on «time», a word that is repea ted right away as changed in the process. That process may essily appear in translations. Yet the process indicated in Joyce an manner is truly synecdochic and seems characteristic and representative for the whole. Time and its changes are a pervasive theme also in Ovid's Metamorphoses, from which work Joyce borrowed (and acknowledged) his only epigraph. Some examples of how Ovid forewhadowed both topics and literary techniques that Joyce was yet to develop are shown in exemplary detail.
