Description

Ajax Sophocles is a classical Greek tragedy. The play depicts the fate of the warrior Ajax, after the events of the Iliad but before the end of the Trojan War. As the play begins, Athena is explaining to Odysseus how she has tricked Ajax into believing that the sheep and cattle that were taken by the Greeks as spoils of war are actually the Greek leaders. He slaughters and mutilates some of them, and takes the others back to his home to torture, including a ram which he believes to be his main rival, Odysseus. When he finally comes to his senses, Ajax is shocked and ashamed over his actions and pities himself over his disgrace. The Chorus of sailors underscores how low this great warrior has been brought by fate and the actions of the gods.
