I am on the fence about whether or not Agent Phil Coulson on Marvel's Agents of Shield might be an all...

I was thinking the same thing. I Say yes to Phil Coulson

Chapter vii of Tolkien's Return of the King (Lord of the Rings)

Homeward Bound

At last the hobbits had their faces turned towards home. They were eager now to see the Shire again; but at first they rode only slowly, for Frodo had been ill at ease. When they came to the ford of Bruinen, he halted and seemed Loth to ride into the stream; and they noted that for a while his eyes appeared not to see them or things about him. All that day he was silent. It was the sixth of October.
" Are you in pain, Frodo ?" Said Gandalf, quietly, as he rode by Frodo's side.

"Well, yes I am," said Frodo. "It's my Shoulder, the wound aches and the memory of darkness is heavy on me. It was a year ago today."

"Alas, there are some wounds that cannot be wholly cured," said Gandalf.

"I fear it may be so with mine," said Frodo. "There's no real going back. Though I may come to the Shire, it will not seem the same; for I shall not be the same. I am wounded with knife, sting and tooth, and a long burden. Where shall I find rest?"
Gandalf did not answer.

Pretty sure Odissey (the dude), is an early example of PTSD in literature. Being unable to adjust to peace after all that he has experienced... I mean, a lot...

@Saelben, are you talking about Odysseus from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey?

Nicely spotted... I never considered that, but he showed some symptoms for sure. He even came home from war somebody his wife didn't recognize ;)

Fisk & Matthew in netflix original Daredevil. I hate that I relate so much to Fisk.

@Sweetpea76
Yes, Odysseus (Odisej in my language :P)

Other than that, he cannot accustom himself to peace, after the war... I mean, the book doesn't become a long circle of violence only by Athena's intervention... The guy went through a lot of messed up stuff, and comes out unable to deal with peace, and showing a lot of symptoms of PTSD, and like, who wouldn't get PTSD from that stuff

Oh, yeah, he also starts crying when a bard starts singing a song about the Trojan war. And seems to have problems dealing with the memory of all that was done
