Ajax the Great was the King of Salamis and one of the primary participating commanders of the Trojan War. Of the Achaeans, he was considered lesser than only Achilles and Diomedes (who had bested him in a sparring duel). Ajax was a commanding figure on the battlefield and he received no notable injuries in the events described in the Iliad. He was also the only participating major figure on either side that did not received divine aid of some sort. Many later Athenian heroes traced their lineage back to Ajax the Great.
Ajax died by his own hand after losing a contest for Achilles' armor. He competed against Odysseus, and in the end, was "defeated only by his own sorrow". That event is described in Homer's Metamorphoses.
