“…Rates of depression during pregnancy range from between 7.4% and 12% and rise from the first trimester, to the second and third trimester (Bennett 2004;Gaynes 2005). The morbidity of depression during pregnancy, as well as the neg-ative effects of depression on subsequent fetal, infant and child development and on the family and community as a whole, have been extensively recognised (Cooper 1998;Cox 1982;Grote 2010;O'Connor 2007;O'Hara 1990;Marcus 2009a;Marcus 2009b). Antenatal depression has been associated with maternal substance use and increased risk of preterm birth and low birthweight (Grote 2010;Marcus 2009a;Marcus 2009b;Woods 2010).…”

“…The third main argument is that the gate of false dreams casts doubt on the validity of the vision Aeneas sees in the underworld and particularly undermines Anchises' optimism about the Roman future. For this see O'Hara (1990, 170-172). 66.…”

This article identifies and traces a systematic correspondence between the "Circe" episode of Joyce's Ulysses and the sixth book of Virgil's Aeneid. The allusion culminates in a parallel between the appearance of the ghost of Bloom's son Rudy at the end of "Circe" and the appearance of the ghost of Augustus' heir Marcellus at the end of Aeneid 6. Both Rudy and Marcellus, while alive, represented great hope for the future, but both tragically died young and their ghosts serve as reminders of disappointed optimism. The correspondence between Rudy and Marcellus politicizes the ghost of Bloom's son, aligning him with the dead heir to the Roman Empire. By making Rudy not only a dead son, but also a dead heir, "Circe" uses the politics of Roman imperial succession as represented in the Aeneid to address the problem of succession following the Irish war of independence. In the midst of the optimism of the anti-colonial revolution, the ghosts of Rudy and Marcellus haunt Ireland with the uncertainty of succession and the specter of future violence. A t the end of the "Circe" episode of Joyce's Ulysses, an apparition of Leopold Bloom's dead son, Rudy, appears in the street. The ghost is not the infant Rudy, who died when he was eleven days old, but an
