The Odyssey is now a remake of a film it inspired.

Homer was inspired by Ramayana: Nitesh Tiwari on Odyssey parallels with Indian epic

Filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari, promoting his two-part Ramayana adaptation, told ScreenRant that Homer likely drew on the Ramayana when writing The Odyssey, citing the bow-stringing contest in both epics. He called it a tribute to India's oldest epic. Ramayana: Part One, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, has grossed an estimated Rs 375.50 crore worldwide in three days.
