In these cultures, the returning warrior was often portrayed as a figure rendered dysfunctionally destructive or isolationist by the horrors of combat. This mythic portrayal of the returned warrior is consistent with modern studies of similar behavior among soldiers returning from war. Roger Woodard's research identifies a common origin of these myths in the ancestral proto-Indo-European culture, in which rites were enacted to enable warriors to reintegrate themselves as functional members of society. He also compares the Italic, Indo-Iranian and Celtic mythic traditions surrounding the warrior, paying particular attention to Roman myth and ritual, notably to the etiologies and rites of the July festivals of the Poplifugia and Nonae Caprotinae and to the October rites of the Sororium Tigillum. 517 3 $aMyth, Ritual, & the Warrior in Roman & Indo-European Antiquity 606 $aIndo-European antiquities 606 $aSoldiers in literature 606 $aMythology, Roman, in literature 615 0$aIndo-European antiquities. 615 0$aSoldiers in literature. 615 0$aMythology, Roman, in literature. 676 $a930/.04034 700 $aWoodard$b Roger D.$0565156 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463000903321 996 $aMyth ritual, and the warrior in Roman and Indo-European antiquity$91757767 997 $aUNINA
