Kermit plays Odysseus. He never kills anybody himself, and when people die because of his actions it’s not because he intended it. He fucks, but only consensually.
Miss Piggy plays Penelope. At the end of the movie, she kills the suitors herself.
The cyclops is is a human actor with a Muppet head.
Human Circe transforms Odysseus’s human men into Muppet pigs. They continue speaking and spend the rest of the film in this form.
The suitors are all Hollywood sex symbols. Miss Piggy believes Kermit is dead, but delays choosing a new husband so she can continue basking in their aattention. When she hears he’s coming home, she slaughters them so she doesn’t have to explain.
You are cooking, don’t stop.

Statler and Waldorf are Agamemnon and Menelaus
Statler and Waldorf are Scylla and Charybidis. Menalaus has to be either Kermit or Gonzo because Helen has to be either Miss Piggy (It can’t be miss piggy though because you’ve correctly cast her as Penelope who kills the suitors herself) or Camilla.
Generally Gonzo handles the narrator angle.
Statler and Waldorf
Chorus of the elderly is already a classic in Greek theatre.

Okay, that makes Fozzie as a narrator click. That’s usually Gonzo’s job but if he’s getting heckled by Statler and Waldorf that works.
Gotta have the penguins as miscellaneous soldiers doing slapstick in the background
Sweetums with an eye patch
Sweetums but they just make a joke about how you can’t just expect every cyclops to have only one eye
Damn I would watch this. His crew would all be muppets like Fozzy and Gonzo, except one of them would be a random b-list star. Robin the Frog would play Telemachus.
His crew would be random whatnots and they would change every scene and he wouldn’t notice, because Odysseus’ crew dies like four times in the story.
Pretty sure my first experience of the Odyssey was a Wishbone episode
The B-plot of the Wishbone Odysseus episode is the local arbor society keeping a developer from bulldozing a local park

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
mine may have been the Simpsons episode
angela collier is that you?
I’d watch it.
Swetums would make a solid cyclops as well. The Electric Mayhem as sirens would be a fun bit. I think most of the crew should be non specific Muppets so they can get comically killed off left and right. Scooter will be the only one who sticks around and gradually climbs through the ranks throughout.
Gonzo should be Menelaus so we can have Camilla be Helen.
The Muppets needs more women to make this all work, Miss Piggy’s hostility towards female co stars has its detrimental.
FUCKING ROLF AS ARGOS BUT HE’S HAS FULL CONVERSATIONS WITH KERMIT TO UPDATE HIM ON THE SUITOR THING
Merge Argos and the blind herdsman
Perfect and economical for runtime. Also let me play Rolf and take like 5 or 6 years so I can get good at puppeteering.

Use it. Circe or Calypso is played by that other girl pig they introduced for the short lived The Office like TV show they made a couple years back.
The Cyclops is so obviously Sweetums I don’t know how you’re even suggesting anyhing else.
The Sirens are Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
Menelaus and Helen are Gonzo and Camilla
Finally! Casting a Helen of Troy who actually hatched from an egg!
