Odyssey Odyssey vs. O’ Brother Where Art Thou This paper compares the Odyssey to O’ Brother Where Art Thou. Even though Homer’s Odyssey was written in Greek times, the movie O’Brother Where Art Thou has many similarities. The Odyssey and O’ Brother each start with an obstacle that keeps the main characters, Odysseus (Odyssey) and Everet (O’Brother), from their homes and their wives for many years. Odysseus is kept from home because he is fighting the war between Troy and Greece, and for Everet it’s prison. When Odysseus escapes, from the war, and Everet escapes, from prison, they both try to return their homeland and their wives. Odysseus and Everet are blessed with meeting a blind prophet that tells them their journey but not what obstacles they will have to overcome. Odysseus first runs into a Cyclops that is the son of Poseidon, the God of the Sea, and when Odysseus barges in, the Cyclops eats 6 of his men. Everet though is traveling with only two other men, Pete and Delmar. When they barge in on Pete’s cousin his cousin turns them into the police. Odysseus believes that the gods didn’t help him by any means and Everet doesn’t believe in gods at everet, odysseus, odyssey, men, home, poseidon, pete, delmar, brother, believe, aeolous, wives, wind, thou, runs, nelson, journey, george, cousin, comparable, both, art, after, without, war, turned, though, sirens, sheriff, sea, same, prison, o’brother, nothing, loved
