The Ulysses String Quartet (est. in 2015) is a professional string quartet based in New York City.[1] The group’s name pays homage to Homer’s hero Odysseus and his 10-year voyage home, as well as to former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant, near whose resting place in Upper Manhattan several of the group’s members reside.[2][3]
