"Ulixeium" feels better to me, but the word seems not to exist.

I rather hope this not not about a James Joyce character.

L&S Greek contains;
Ὀδύσσειον, τό, temple of Odysseus
Ὀδύσσεια, τά, games in honour of Odysseus

Googling the former brings up mostly hotels of that name (one on Levkas
(http://www.ourtravel.gr/trips-programs/packageInfo?PackageCode=919),
others on Ithaca), but also a newly built ancient Greek theatre in
northern Greece.
The latter clashes with ἡ Ὀδύσσεια (The Odyssey) and the hits are all
for that.

I think the L&S entry validates Ὀδύσσειον, giving "Ulixeum" in Latin.
