One scene where this is exceptionally apparent is when Everett and company sit down to eat with Big Dan Teague outside of a restaurant. Describing himself as “a man with a large appetite”‚ Big Dan consumes copious amounts of food in the same manner that Polyphemus the Cyclopes devours Odysseus’s men.

The East-West Schism The Filioque‚ or addition of the clause “and from the son” to the Nicene Creed‚ in the west brought the two halves of Christendom into conflict.
