Why would the directors want to base this movie on the famous epic The Odessy? What purpose does this serve?

They have a basic story and don't have to pay a writer

There are only a few basic stories really and The Odyssey is a really good one. All stories are re-hashed and have been forever. One example I can think of is High Noon being re-made set in space with Sean Connery. Can't remember what it is called. Good film though.

Has it occurred to any of y'all that MAYBE Homer's version wasn't their inspiration? Perhaps, they read Joyce's "Ulysses", which is also based on the Odyssey.
Turn off the t.v. once in a while and read something other than People magazine.

the Odyssey is a great story & the coen brothers film doesn't really come close to it much. it's very loosely based around it.

Its great framework. Besides quite a few love stories are based on Romeo and Juliet.

It probably inspired the movie in the first place. Without basing it on this....there would have been no movie. That would be sad, because it's an awesome movie.

The Protagonists in each story have similar goals - return home after a long absence to restore their home and family.

There are things that we can still learn about ourselves, as the tale is rather mythic.
If you think about it, "The Little Mermaid" is Faust for kids, "The Lion King" is Hamlet Lite and "Pocohontas" is Romeo and Juliet that ends happier

They just borrowed the basic story. Besides, I thought the music was great.
