Both characters embark on a long journey home, travel a far distance, and meet many obstacles along their way. Everett and Odysseus each encounter a large one eyed man who tries to beat them up, sirens who sing a beautiful song to try to entice them, and upon their return, they must pass a test and defeat their wife’s suitors to win back their wife. The two epic heroes, Odysseus and Ulysses Everett McGill, are wandering heroes, “men of constant sorrow” who face many obstacles and hardships on their return
