A rare generation born between 1975 and 1979 who ought to count themselves lucky at witnessing the Ulysses 31 series.
This generation X of kids grew up being lucky enough to watch the ground-breaking and one-off Ulysses 31 animated adventure series.
Written in France, animated by the Japanese and with English Vocals it struck a cord with many.
Broadcast only once in 1985 it was a profoundly deep and inspiring series which served (and still serves) as a moral compass and 'middle way' for kids and adults alike.
Featuring wandering spacefarers exiled to a mysterious galaxy. They are forced to search for a way back home, but on the way are thrust into all kinds of danger and adventure.
Compared to other cartoons the angle is more adult, violent and grown-up with the lead character - Ulysses (despite being married) acting similarly to his historical counterpart.
Similarly the moral dilema's faced also mean tough choices and sacrifices made, just like real life itself.
People from this generation are more likely to be somewhat defiant, struck with an adventurous/wanderlust heart and wary of authority.
The makers of Ulysses 31 went on to create the equally brilliant Mysterious Cities of Gold.
Kids born during this period can also be considered mysterious cities of gold, thundercats and he-man, depending on their choice in cartoons.

Do you remember that cool cartoon Ulysses?
Sure did man, I wish they made more cartoons like that now. All that came after the 80s was the 90s crap.
When were you born?
1977, the Ulysses Generation

Get the Ulysses mug.(Proper Noun) Ulises is the quintessential, personification of the error of mankind. While mostly docile, Ulises tends to build cases on his peers with which he’s able to blackmail at his victims least suspecting moments; these moments typically occur after a break up, loss of a job, the death of a pet, and/or during a murder.
When encountering a Ulises, one wants to make sure they are actively up on current pop culture events, specifically in relation to Britney Spears in an effort to distract and dissuade any nefarious actions.
Carry a back up boysenberry jam and be prepared to toss it.

Get the Ulises mug.Ulises is such a nice caring person. Definitely spiritual and a very earth person. Yet he so nice to others around him some may want to take control so Ulises will make sure you have it coming. You never want to be on his bad side because let’s all face it that’s scary. Many people mistake his looks for bad but deep deep down he’s a very sweet, romantic, generous. When he likes someone he will do anything for his partner.

Get the Ulises mug.Oh, he's just an elder man who sometimes pops up in my definitions. For example, he appeared in my definition for smard. Mr. Wordington out!
Old Man Ulysses: You whippersnappers ought to remember that you must stay away from burn book styled definitions and sexual phrases, y'hear!

Get the Old Man Ulysses mug.Getting home (at all, or anytime soon)
A reference to a translated Odyssey by Homer, the character Odysseus is translated to Ulysses. In the story, it took something like 10 years for the man to get home to his wife and dog from the Trojan war (In the Iliad). He had all kinds of adventures along the way, from the sirens to calypso.
In the Franz Ferdinand album, Tonight, the first song is titled Ulysses. In the song the man is singing about how bored he is at night and calls up his friends to get high and have a good time. In the video, while he is on the payfone there is a sticker on the phone that reads 'Am I Ulysses?' (Am I getting home tonight? Or at all for that matter...)
If you are Ulysses, you'll get home. If you aren't you won't.

"Am I Ulysses? Am I Ulysses?" "No, but you are now boy"
"Oh then suddenly you know, you're never going home.... You're not Ulysses"
