Homer\u2019s \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d has long been interpreted for the public by classical studies scholars and now \u2014 with director Christopher Nolan\u2019s $250 million film version garnering rave reviews \u2014 by a new generation of film critics.<\/p>\n

The blockbuster opening on screens across the U.S. this weekend is dominating the cultural conversation, but the voices of fighting men with real experience of combat and its aftereffects often find themselves sidelined in the discussion. Given the content of Homer\u2019s epic, that is odd.<\/p>\n

Straight readings of the (supposedly) blind bard\u2019s works deliver accounts of wartime heroism and horror; of archetypal battle leaders; of substance abuse and marital infidelities; and the temptations faced by women back home.<\/p>\n

Less literal interpretations of Homeric episodes \u2014 confrontations with otherworldly monsters and a descent into Hades \u2014 speak to post-war mental traumas.<\/p>\n

Homer wrote \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d and \u201cThe Iliad\u201d centuries after the events the epics supposedly depict and for many more centuries, his masterpieces were considered straight myth.<\/p>\n

But they may have been informed by reality. More recent research suggests the Trojan War, or something similar, actually happened.<\/p>\n

In the 1870s, German archeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the remains of a Bronze Age, walled city, with geographical features \u2014 its old coastline, nearby rivers and distant mountains \u2014 exactly mirroring Homer\u2019s descriptions of Troy.<\/p>\n

The site, in Hisarlik, Turkey, dominates the entry to the Dardanelles, a strategic maritime chokepoint linking the Mediterranean and Black Seas.<\/p>\n

Excavations uncovered traces of weapons and ashes indicating the citadel was, indeed, burnt to the ground around 1,200 BC. That syncs with the classic historian Herodotus\u2019 estimate that Troy fell in 1,250 BC.<\/p>\n

Mycenaean-era script proves that \u201cAchilles\u201d was an actual name in the late Bronze Age and real figures \u2014 including Alexander the Great \u2014 visited the supposed site of the uber warrior\u2019s tomb.<\/p>\n

While Homer\u2019s 10-year siege seems unlikely, a series of raids, skirmishes and battles is feasible. The war\u2019s legendary casus belli \u2014 the elopement (or kidnapping) of Queen Helen of Sparta \u2014 also hints at dark history.<\/p>\n

Slave raiding \u2014 with women of child-bearing age the most prized targets, and ransomable aristocrats doubly so \u2014 was a constant in the Mediterranean until the 19th century.<\/p>\n

Now, as Hollywood breathes new life into the Greek epics, American veterans of the Global War on Terror say that Homer\u2019s timeless lines echo across millennia, reflecting their experiences of war and its aftermath.<\/p>\n

Warriors and war<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Iliad\u2019s heroes are Greece\u2019s Achilles and Troy\u2019s Hector \u2014 arguably, two sides of the warrior archetype. The ruthless Achilles is motivated by loot, slaves, glory and vengeance. The honorable Hector fights for his wife, child, father and city.<\/p>\n

Joe Labarbera, who served 54 months in five combat tours as an American infantry officer in Iraq and Afghanistan, said he understands the enduring interest in the \u201cHomeric version of honor and glory.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve not met many who compare to Achilles, but I knew a lot of Hectors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Donald Vandergriff, whose career spanned the U.S. Marines, U.S. Army and contracting work in Afghanistan, met both types.<\/p>\n

The modern Achilles, he said, \u201cappears today in aggressive special operations elements and line units that prize individual initiative and recognition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMost career officers and senior NCOs who endure repeated combat deployments ultimately align more closely with Hector\u2019s outlook.\u201d<\/p>\n

Homer details his heroes\u2019 specializations.<\/p>\n

Achilles is a battle winner described as \u201cswift-footed\u201d \u2014 a reference to the criticality of footwork in close combat. Odysseus, \u201cthe man of twists and turns,\u201d is known for tactical cunning.<\/p>\n

Homer talks of gods descending to earth and single warriors terrifying entire hosts. Dubious? Yes. But his many descriptions of combat read as authentic.<\/p>\n

In the climactic duel of \u201cThe Iliad,\u201d Achilles experiences his enemy\u2019s charge in slow motion: He has ample time to select his target, aiming his spearhead at the vulnerable point over the rim of Hector\u2019s breastplate: His throat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe depiction of time dilation during combat and the deliberate targeting of vulnerable anatomy is consistent with what experienced fighters report,\u201d said Mr. Vandergriff, who today writes books on military doctrine. \u201cHomer\u2019s choice of the throat reflects practical combat knowledge rather than literary invention.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Odysseus reaches home, occupied by insolent suitors, he uses an identical kill shot: The suitor\u2019s leader, Antinous, falls to an arrow through his neck, blood jetting from his nostrils.<\/p>\n

Homer paints his kill zone with equally gruesome realism. The opening lines of \u201cThe Iliad\u201d tell of corpses being scavenged by wild dogs and carrion birds.<\/p>\n

That prompted memories of a visit David Park, an infantry major, made to a company outpost in Afghanistan, where defenses included a dry moat full of smoldering dogs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoldiers invited me to watch the next morning: A new group of dogs would come to eat the dead and burning dogs, it smelled like a barbecue,\u201d said Mr. Park, who today is a property executive in Washington, D.C. \u201cThe gunner would aim and shoot the biggest and closest ones and the rest would run off.\u201d<\/p>\n

GIs burnt the dead dogs with jet fuel and the situation repeated. So grim was the tableau, the Taliban left the outpost alone.<\/p>\n

Women, drugs, monsters<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Iliad\u201d depicts war; \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d post-war. For 10 years after the Greeks burned Troy \u2014 enabled by Odysseus\u2019 use of a wooden horse to infiltrate its formerly impregnable citadel \u2014 he struggles to return home across hostile seas.<\/p>\n

En route, he is seduced by the witch Circe, spends seven years with the nymph Calypso, and is sorely tempted by The Sirens \u2014 irresistible songstresses.<\/p>\n

War may have sharpened Odysseus\u2019 frothy libido.<\/p>\n

Physiologists speculate that combat troops unconsciously feel powerful biological urges to reproduce, due to the constant possibility of death.<\/p>\n

\u201cProlonged exposure to combat heightens the biological and psychological drive for physical and emotional release,\u201d Mr. Vandergriff said.<\/p>\n

That explains constant discussions of sex among soldiers \u2014 and the rear-area brothels of the Korean and Vietnam wars.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an open secret that soldiers were taking their leaves in Germany, where they would simply stay at a brothel for two weeks, then return, \u2019recharged and ready to fight,\u2019\u201d Mr. Park said.<\/p>\n

Substance abuse is encountered in the \u201cLand of the Lotus Eaters.\u201d Some of Odysseus\u2019 men become addicted, forcing him to drag them aboard ship and lash them to the benches for cold turkey.<\/p>\n

That danger, too, feels all too real for modern veterans.<\/p>\n

\u201cEleven percent of VA patients have diagnosed substance use disorders compared to 8.5% of civilians,\u201d a May study by RiversideRecovery, an addiction treatment center in Tampa, Florida, found.<\/p>\n

On the home front, Odysseus\u2019 wife Penelope remains faithful, but her experience \u2014 besieged by aggressive suitors \u2014 mirrors expeditionary troops\u2019 anxieties that men back home will court their loved ones.<\/p>\n

That anxiety is grounded. \u201cAbout half of those I knew with girlfriends or young wives lost those relationships on deployments,\u201d Mr. Labarbera said.<\/p>\n

One of Homer\u2019s most poignant passages is the recognition of Odysseus by Argos \u2014 the pup he raised before leaving for Troy, now an aged hound dying on a compost heap. The faithful pet recognizes his master \u2014 then dies.<\/p>\n

Mr. Labarbera acknowledged the scene\u2019s veracity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I returned from my last deployment, my ridgeback, Scipio, howled and cried and walked and paced around as I lay on the floor,\u201d he recalled. \u201cHe licked and cuddled me for almost an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to homecoming, Odysseus undergoes fantastical trials that form some of the epic\u2019s most iconic passages.<\/p>\n

He outfoxes man-eating monsters: A one-eyed giant, Polyphemus; a squid-like monster, Scylla; and the Laestrygonians, huge cannibals who hurl boulders at his ships.<\/p>\n

In a harrowing scene, he descends into Hades, offering fresh blood for spirits to drink in return for information.<\/p>\n

Do these macabre episodes part with reality? Perhaps not, given the demonic impact combat can have on soldiers\u2019 psyches.<\/p>\n

The scenes \u201cmap onto the nightmares, hypervigilance and sudden intrusive memories reported by veterans,\u201d said Mr. Vandergriff. \u201cSeveral men I have known described recurring visions of mutilated bodies, of ambushes, of inescapable threats that closely parallel the epic\u2019s perils.\u201d<\/p>\n

Postwar, Mr. Park was contacted by the wife of a medic who had triaged every casualty at his base.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019d wake up screaming every night,\u201d he recalled. \u201cWe had to commit him to a psychiatric facility \u2013 not the first or last time I visited one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Labarera was struck by a starker realization.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as monsters: I realized I am the monster,\u201d he said. \u201cAfter over 30 firefights in five deployments and all the judgments and decisions leading to harming people, I\u2019ve become numb to violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The big Italian-American withdraws to his family farm in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\u201cI live deep in the country to avoid the stress of strange people,\u201d he said. \u201cI have to limit my time in public.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hollywood\u2019s latest blockbuster may lure an audience of veterans whose experiences sync with Homer, some 3,200 years after a city called Troy may have fallen.<\/p>\n

\u201cHomer\u2019s lasting relevance stems from his refusal to either glorify war or reduce it solely to trauma,\u201d said Mr. Vandergriff. \u201cHe presents both the powerful drive for honor among fighters and the lasting personal costs \u2026 veterans frequently recognize their own experiences in these poems.\u201d<\/p>\n
