Quote:Also, what elements from the Odyssey can you pick from say...Dumbo?
You're going to have to try harder from that. Let me quote TV writer and author Larry Brody, to give a quick synopsis of The Odyssey:
Quote:"...man against the gods who falls out of one trap and into another while lovers, partners in life, struggle to be reunited."
Plot of Dumbo: Dumbo's mom gets angry at the other animals for teasing her son, and she is separated from Dumbo (a fall out from gods). Dumbo (Odysseus) and his partner in life (Mrs. Jumbo) struggle to be reunited.
Obviously this is a Readers' Digest version of both plots. There's no way I could summarize The Odyssey and retain a forum-friendly length.
