Omeros and the The Odyssey ?

[femmegrrlprof]

so.... I'm late constructing a course that starts next week. It's a writing through lit course (don't ask). My question for you folks is... does anyone have any ideas as to which parts of Derek Walcott's Omeros might fit neatly with The Odyssey ? This is roughly a class for first year or second year students and I'm using this to introduce epic poetry.

Thanks for your help!
