I'm not sure if this is subtle or just common knowledge but all the references this movie makes to "Homer's Odyssey." For example, Goerge Clooney character is trying to get beack to his wife, the three women they meet by the river are like the sirens that Odysseus and his men meeta and John Goodman's character is referring to the cyclops from the book. I haven't seen that movie in years, but the similarities always stuck with me
