Homework Help: Literature

Write a proposal suggesting ways for the Odyssey to be made into a movie that's set in the present. Imagine that the readers of the proposal will be the producers of the movie. Explain how you would modernize the epic.'

The only things I can't seem to modernize are:

He meets lotus eaters, sirens, cyclops, scylla and charybdis.

He is tempted by Calypso and Circe

Forutne hunters at home around his wife.

Son is insulted.

Please Please help!

Thanks

These -- lotus eaters, sirens, cyclops, scylla and charybdis -- could represent people of different cultures and those with strange or anti-social habits. How about drug addicts, prostitutes, etc.?

Our news media shows men like Tiger Woods being tempted by "sirens."

MC -- use YOUR imagination for the rest.
