Stephen Dedalus is the protagonist of James Joyce's semi-autobiographical "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man". He seems to be a general alter-ego of the writer, and appears in many of Joyce's works.

Everyone I know pronounces this DAY-dal-us, and my Latin teacher pronounces it DIE-dal-us. I've never heard the DED-a-lus pronunciation.
