Well, if I tell you that Ulysses Everett McGill and his pals take off on a journey home, where Ulysses hopes to reunite with his wife Penelope, and on the way they encounter everyone from a trio of women who sing rapturous songs to a very large tough guy with one good eye, it might give you a place to start....If you don't know "The Odyssey", read a good summary, and then watch the movie again. It will become very clear to you.
