/lit/, are Ulysses' chapters really named after the Odyssey?

mfw I just checked and my edition just has 'I', 'II' and 'III'

N-nothing's wrong, right? I just messed stuff up?

none of the chapters originally had names or numbers. they were added in later. scholars refer to them by their odyssey names though for ease of citation.

Hh, I see. So most editions don't have them?

I've never seen an edition that does

Gee, I'm silly, that makes a lot of sense.
I can always blame it on seeing the names dropped just so many times... and probably reading up too much discussion before the actual work. time to change it I guess

Thanks a billion.
