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.
