Erica Smith	O Brother, Where Art Thou (113* d)	RE: Brother, Where Art Thou	03 Jan 01
hey, for brushing up on Homer, I highly recommend the recent Fagles translation of the Odyssey . . . heartbreaking. I agree that they could have pushed the Odyssey references a bit harder -- what of Odysseus's escape from the Cyclops, or Penelope's loom? -- but oh well. I think the Coen bros. owe more to Aristophanes and other Greek comedy for the use of pacing, absurd coincidence, etc. ugh, I can't find the soundtrack anywhere in NYC! : ) Erica nerdy English/Classics major
