what do you mean what is a mythological allusion you are giving me examples and you don't know?

It is like a reference to a Greek myth in a story or movie like morpheus is the Greek god of dreams and in Matrix he is the guy who sends Neo into the Matrix which is pretty much a dream world.

Sorry if that dosen't clear things up and thx for the replies if you think of any more plz post them i have found a couple more also what is the Atlas shruged about so i know what to write down?

YOU HEARD THE KID PEOPLE!!!! LETS MOVE IT!!! Able 2 KNOW baby!!!!!!

You want allusions??? We got allusions!!!

Atlas shrugged is about a business man that gets so big he is actually able to make 'Atlas shrug' when he decides to sock it to the man.

Based on the "Odyssey" by Homer
The titles acknowledge the work is, "Based upon Homer's Odyssey." In interviews, the Coen brothers say that they never actually read the Odyssey, but the film patterns many of its characters and situations upon that ancient work (see below). The Coens claim to having gleaned most of the incidental details of Homer's epic from the 1955 filmed adaptation, starring Kirk Douglas.

Episodes in the film somewhat resemble the Odyssey. Everett tends to come off much worse than his mythical counterpart Odysseus. A viewer familiar with the Odyssey may often expect the hero to triumph. Typically, this does not happen, although things turn out all right later, partly because the hero is so irrepressible, partly by sheer luck. Among the similarities:

"Sing to me of the man, Muse... ", the line at the beginning of the film, is the first line of the Odyssey.
Ulysses is the Roman name of Odysseus.
A blind prophet - possibly a Tiresias figure - who foreshadows that "the treasure you seek shall not be the treasure you find."
A merciless sheriff wanting to lynch him, perhaps analogous to Poseidon in the story of the Odyssey, but also alluded to as Satan throughout the film; this is strengthened by the presence of a hunting dog, which echoes Cerberus as well as the common mythological Hellhounds. The link between the two (Satan and Poseidon) is made when Ulysses mentions that Satan carries "a giant fork" (a trident); both figures are often depicted with just such an instrument.
