The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

I don't recollect any one mentioning this before but I think, in fact I'm sure, that the ancient mariner is Ulysses. Coleridge must have got his idea of Ulysses sinning and being punished from Dante's Inferno. If anyone would like to explore this theory please be so kind as to acknowledge your debt to me for the idea.I may not wander in the groves of academe but there is this ego within me that craves recognition,however trifling it may be.
