Brought boldly to life by Herbert Golder and Richard Pevear's translation and contextualized by Herbert Golder's excellent introduction, this early Sophoclean tragedy tells the story of the Trojan war hero better known as Ajax, who was second only to Achilles among the Greek warriors. His great crisis was not in battle, but afterward, when Achilles' armor was given to his rival Odysseus instead of to himself. Clearly the greater warrior, he was driven to suicide by his betrayal by the Greeks. In this Sophoclean version of the Aias myth, the hero transforms his dishonor into a work of tragic art, and his suicide is likewise seen as an act of heroic destiny.
