Ajax

Description
The king of Salamis and descendent of Zeus, known for his enormous size and strength. He was the second greatest Greek warrior after Achilles, and memorably stood against the Trojans’ attack on the Greek camp when Achilles refused to fight. However, after Achilles' death, Agamemnon chose to honor Odysseus as the most valuable member of the Greek army. Ajax went mad with grief and rage, and killed himself. His story is movingly told in Sophocles’ tragedy Ajax.

"'His speech was blunt and short, claiming lineage from Zeus and offering his mighty size as proof of his great-grandfather's continuing favor. His gift was a spear, supple wood beautifully cut. The fire-forged point gleamed in the light of the torches.'"
