What are the connections to the odyssey in the movie big fish?
I don't remember the character's names in the Odyssey, but the hero, George Clooney was Odysseus, the one who traveled far away for many years. His wife, Penelope (who had suitors for her hand in marriage) waited for him to come home. The blind old black man was the blind prophet (Oracle) who told Odysseus what would happen during his travels. John Goodman's character was the Cyclops, the one eyed monster who tried to kill Odysseus and his two followers (the ones who escaped from prison with him in the movie) and keep them from finding the (non-existent) treasure. The two men who went along with Odysseus were seduced by the singing women (representing Circe), and were thought to have been turned into frogs, whereas in the Odyssey, I believe they were turned into pigs. I'm afraid I don't remember the correlation between the young Black man who sold his soul to the devil and the characters of the Odyssey, but the Cyclops tried to kill him as well as Odysseus and his two followers. To be honest, what I've written is confusing, now that I look at it. You can read about Odysseus and the Odyssey on the Wikipedia website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odysseus

What two tricks does Odyddeus play on the Cyclops?
Its Odysseus, not Odyddeus. One of them is where he hides himself, (or clokes himself with a magical item. One of the two...). And then he called him a name. The Cyclops, Polymyth, was angry, and asked, "who's there"? Odysseus said, "Nobody". Polymyth, being a cyclops, wasn't, the sharpest tool in the shed, and he thought "Nobody" was Odysseus's name. He threw boulders at the spot where he thought he heard it. That gave time for Odyseus to escape... Sorry, but I'm not sure what the second one was.
What must Odysseus do after he arrives home from his 20 year journey?
Odysseus returns to the island of Ithaca to hear that his house was plagued with many suitors, demanding Penelope in marriage. Therefore, he disguises himself as a beggar, and enters the estate. He enters the hut of the swineherd, Eumaeus, one of the few honest servants left on his kingdom. He still has no idea who Odysseus is, and meanwhile Telemachus approaches. He, Odysseus' son, has been gone from Ithaca for a year, and came back when Athena warned him about the suitors. When they meet, Telemachus too has no idea who Odysseus is. When Athena reveals his identity, Telemachus and Odysseus weep and embrace each other. After that, Telemachus, the swineherd and Odysseus meet Penelope, who embraces Telemachus Odysseus' old dog is the only one in the hall who recognizes him, and Penelope, after hearing the beggar has news about Odysseus, wants to learn more. During a late night chat between the two, Penelope orders Eurycleia to wash Odysseus' feet-a sign of respect-for the beggar had brought news that Odysseus was coming home now. However, Eurycleia recognizes Odysseus, and he quickly swears her to secrecy. The next day, Penelope decides to test the suitors by handing them Odysseus' massive bow. Many try to string it, but not a single one can't. While this progresses, Odysseus has sneaked out and followed the swineherd and the cowherd. When he reveals his identity, both men embrace him, but he quickly tells him a plan he had thought of. Odysseus enters the hall where the suitors are being attempted. The suitors complain, but Penelope allows him to test himself (Penelope still does not know his identity). The swineherd and cowherd removed Penelope and the maids from the hall, and previously Telemachus stripped the room of arms. For brevity, all four of them slay the suitors and kill the unfaithful servants. After that, Odysseus' identity is revealed Penelope. Suspecting a trick, she decides to test Odysseus. I tried to be as concise as possible, I hope you got the important facts over this.
