That said, in the war, he tried to draft-dodge the war so he wouldn't get involved and leave his family; he also used to be a great soldier though, the city of Ithaca said that "You were a great soldier once—or so they say—but times have changed. This is a difficult world, and we have more important things to think about than your record.” (The Odyssey Introduction 2) shows that eventually, after the war, Odysseus needed to adjust to normal life again

It is as if society were saying to the returning hero, “You were a great soldier once—or so they say—but times have changed.
