Character Analysis
Lyons also appears as a character in "Ivy Day in the Committee Room" in Joyce's Dubliners. Here, he appears briefly in "Lotus-Eaters." Bloom tries to give him a 'throwaway' paper that he has been handed, and Lyons mistakes it for a tip in the Gold Cup race. Lyons intends to use Bloom's false tip to bet on "Throwaway." Instead, he bets on another horse, MAXIMUM 2, and makes a killing.
