This is one of the most copied stories there is. There are dozens and dozens of versions of it.

As someone else said, "O brother where art thou" is a retelling of the Odyssey, but it is fairly abstracted away. For someone who didn't already know the story of the Odyssey, many of the allusions and "retelling" you might not be able to notice.

There is also the classic Joyce novel Ulysses, now a classic of English literature on its own.

Walcott's Omeros

Marget Atwood wrote the "Penelopiad" which retells the story from the wife's perspective.

A few others : Cold Mountain, Big Fish (both the book and the movie), Ice Age : Continental Drift, Ulysses 31 (Anime),


There are also more straight "updated translations"
