In the English pronunciation of Greek and Latin names, in a polysyllabic word, the stress is placed upon the penultimate syllable when it is long (in quantity or quality). The penult is Ulysses is long by quality, as it ends with a consonant (U-lys-ses). So the word is accented u-LYS-ses. The "y" in this context is pronounced as a short "i." The ending "es" is pronounced as "ease." The initial "u," since is pronounced as the English long u. Thus the final pronunciation is "you-LIS-ease" or IPA ju'lJsiz.

>The initial "u," since it is open is pronounced...

Left that out.

Also the IPA symbol did not work. It should have been the symbol for the short "i" sound, as in "kit."
