Allusions in the Odyssey

I don't have time to go into much detail about the books today and visualization, but I wanted to leave you with a little something to make you happy.  The Odyssey has had great influence on literature, movies, plays, and television.  One of my favorite movies has many allusions of the Odyssey, O' Brother Where Art Thou.  The following clip from YouTube shows the allusions between the two.  It would be a great clip to show students one day, so they realize how ancient epics have had their influence on our modern society.

Sorry for being pressed for time, but I hope you enjoy this clip.  It would be great for a mini-lesson!
