Based on The Odyssey

I never knew that this movie was based on The Odyssey.

The quote below caught my attention in the Trivia section. IT makes sense, but I've seen this movie at least a dozen times (was on TV last night, so I pulled up IMDB) and love it as a former Baseball player that almost was and never made the connection. Perhaps subconsciously, but it got me wondering how many other movies have been? I know there are often remakes with the namesake, but I suppose many others have been based on it. I never read the book...couldn't digest it in HS. Story didn't seem that engrossing either.
I put question marks next to ones I'm not sure of (except of course Oh Brother). Some only because I've watched a lot of film analysis lately and/or recently viewed some.


-Oh Brother, Where art thou? is one that comes to mind and one of the few Coen Bros movies that I don't care for that much.
-Probably could say Inside Llewyn Davis, which I did like.
-Troy
-The Fisher king?
-Time Bandits?
-Being There?
-Moon


What are some other Movies not so obviously/loosely based on the Odyssey?
I'd love to hear others thoughts. I'm sure there are tons I can't think of right now.

While the story is an adaptation of the book by Bernard Malamud the plot has been changed for movie to be more "uplifting". Several characters and symbols are heavily influenced by the writings of Homer and Greek mythology: - the line, "Have you ever read Homer?"
Roy Hobbs = Odysseus. He is trying to "find his way" [home];


Max Mercy = Vulcan, God of Fire and Forging. He can "make or break you" and is always seen in red or brown clothing;


Pop Fisher = Zeus, King of the Gods. His uniform is #1 and both the oak tree and lightning bolt a la the Wonderboy bat are his symbols;


The Judge = Hades, God of the Underworld. He is always in the dark a.k.a. death, and the dead are "judged" in the underworld;


Memo Paris = Kalypso, a sea nymph who had an affair with Odysseus and held/distracted him from returning home; Kalypso means "I will conceal" in Greek;


Gus Sands = the Cyclops. Gus has the one strange eye;


Iris Gaines = Penelope, wife of Odysseus. Roy's true love from whom he was separated for 20 years while she raised their son;


Hubris = when Roy states his goal is for people to say, "there goes Roy Hobbs, the best there ever was in this game," this is what the Greeks considered to be hubris, and for that a person would often suffer turmoil..
