What is the hero Ajax known for?
Ajax is a Greek hero found in both of Homer's stories, the Iliad and the Odyssey. In the Iliad, which is where Ajax met his fame, he is a highly regarded warrior. He was the King of Salamis and he led his solders to fight for Agamemnon in the war against Troy. He was an outstanding warrior, second only to the mighty Achilles in skill. Furthermore his is one of the only heroes in the Iliad who was unaided by any God or Goddess. Ajax survived the Trojan War. Shortly after the war there was a dispute between him and Odysseus about who should receive the shield and armor of Achilles. Odysseus received the honor, and in despair Ajax killed himself. In the Odyssey Ajax appears when Odysseus goes into Hades, where he finds Ajax mourning his own suicide.
What roles did Ajax and Achilles have in the Trojan war?
Achilles plays a great role in the Trojan war.When Agamemnon steals the beautiful captive Briseis away from Achilles,Achilles refuses to take part in the war,where after the Greeks suffer one loss after another.But when his best friend Patroclus is killed by Trojan Hector,Achilles emerges vengeful.Thetis has an armor forged for Achilles by the great god Hephaestus.Achilles kills Hector and a great number of other Trojans.Ajax is considered to be the bravest hero,second only to Achilles.In the Trojan war he single-handedly turns back a Trojan counterattack that threatens to set the fleet on fire.ajax and diomedes are considered the second best Greeks next to Achilles, however both of these heroes are more noble, brave and respectful than Achilles. ajax fights hector to duel early in the iliad, and through out the book both heroes try to kill each, both are unsuccesful, though on occassions both heroes get the upper hand on one another, hector forces ajax to retreat several times and also breaks ajax's spear. however ajax also forces hector to retreat on one occasion when he throws a huge boulder at hector. diomedes is also a great fighter but not as good in my opinion as ajax or hector, he always needs the help of odyesseus and like wise odyesseus always needs diomedes's help. ajax and hector fight alone, relying on their own skill. Achilles i would like to point out is not brave, he doesnt fight for most of the iliad, and has no fear of death, that by definition does not define a hero, he doesnt care about anyone or anything expect his feelings and perhaps patroclus.
In The Iliad does Hector battle Ajax?
Yes he does. Iliad, book 7, describes their single combat in which Hector is almost defeated but the duel is interrupted by a "herald of Zeus". Interestingly enough, to end their aborted duel they exchange weapons as gifts, Hector receives Ajax's war-belt and Ajax receives Hector's sword. Achilles lashes Hector's body to his chariot with the war-belt as he drags his corpse around the walls of Troy. Ajax, ashamed at losing the arms of Achilles, commits suicide with Hector's sword.
What happens when Odysseus receives Achilles armor over Ajax?
When odysseus recieves the armor Ajax gets jealous, but Odysseues needed it more. Ajax dies during the battle in which the armor is used.
