Sophocles

Ajax is a Greek tragedy by Sophocles, written around 450-430 BC. The play follows the warrior Ajax after the events of the Iliad, focusing on his rage and humiliation when Achilles' armor is awarded to Odysseus instead of him. Misled by the goddess Athena, Ajax mistakenly seeks revenge on livestock, leading to his tragic downfall and eventual suicide. This work is notable for its exploration of honor, pride, and the psychological effects of disgrace in ancient Greek society.
