Memorable Quotes from "The Adventures of Ulysses"

"Cunning Ulysses, master of schemes, embarked on a journey fraught with perils, where wit and courage would be his only allies."

Translation (Sinhala): "කුටුහලයෙන් පිරුණු උලීසීස්, යුක්ති සහ ධෛර්යය ඔහුගේ එකම මිතුරන් වන, භයානකතා පිරුණු ගමනක් ආරම්භ කළේය."

Translation (Tamil): "தந்திரமான உலிசீஸ், திட்டங்களின் வல்லுநர், அபாயங்களால் நிறைந்த பயணத்தைத் தொடங்கினார், அங்கு அறிவும் தைரியமும் அவரது ஒரே நண்பர்களாக இருக்கும்."

"Through trials and tempests, Ulysses' unwavering resolve guided him back to the shores of Ithaca."

Translation (Sinhala): "පරීක්ෂණ සහ කුණාටු හරහා, උලීසීස්ගේ අසමසම කැපවීම ඔහුට ඉතකා වෙරළට නැවත මඟ පෙන්වීය."

Translation (Tamil): "சோதனைகளும் புயல்களும் வழியாக, உலிசீஸின் அசைக்க முடியாத உறுதி அவரை இதாகாவின் கரைகளுக்கு திருப்பி நெறிப்படுத்தியது."

"In the face of mythical beasts and divine wrath, Ulysses remained steadfast, his heart set on home."

Translation (Sinhala): "දෙවියන්ගේ කෝපයට සහ ද්වීපික සතුන්ට මුහුණ දෙමින්, උලීසීස් ස්ථිරව සිටියේය, ඔහුගේ හදවත ගෙදරට යොමු කරමින්."

Translation (Tamil): "புராணக் களைகளும் தெய்வீக கோபத்தையும் எதிர்கொள்ளும் போது, உலிசீஸ் உறுதியாக இருந்தார், அவரது இதயம் வீட்டை நோக்கி இருந்தது."
