The Trojan war was conflicted between Troy and Greece.

Troy defeated Greece and it took 10 years to do it. This was during the bronze age why the war began because the queen of sparta Helen was kidnapped by the prince of Trojan which was Paris. Then that's when her husband went to rescue her with a lot of people going with him. Which they got on ships which were going to the Asia minor. Which lead to the death of the prince of Troy. It ended when the greek soldiers hid in a wooden horse outside of Troy then when night came they got out of the horse attacked Troy. A lot of people died during this war including both princes of Troy. Which was lead by

Odysseus.
How now relates to Odysseus. Odysseus had to face a lot of obstacles like the sirens, whirlpool, suitors, and a lot of other things that soldiers also have to deal with especially coming home. With the family issues with the suitors can relate to soldiers now. If a soldier is away for awhile from his wife or girlfriend then things could change because he is not there a lot. Also can change the relationship with their other family such as in the relationship with odysseus and his dog that he hasn’t seen in twenty years. The dog wasn’t taken care of and was left for twenty years. But it ruined the relationship between them and this can still happen today even with the relationships of their parents or other relatives.
Odysseus had to avoid the sirens which are sea monsters that lead soldiers to their death. Now usually soldiers hear bombs or guns being shot so that they can try to avoid it now sometimes they don’t see the enemies and get killed. Also Odysseus had to avoid the whirlpool but now if soldiers are in the navy they may have to deal rough times in the ocean. Which Odysseus also had to face like when they opened the bag of winds and it caused a bad storm while they were on the ship. People in the navy have some of the obstacles Odysseus had in his journey.
This explains how they are related in many different ways. Even though they're not exactly alike but they have shaped the way our soldiers are today. Which also says how war can change you in a lot of ways also how you have to face a lot of obstacles and dedicate and risk you life for war. That how Odysseus journey was like other wars.
