Ajax is a Greek tragedy written by Sophocles. The play tells the story of Ajax, a famous warrior in the Trojan War, who becomes consumed by anger and jealousy after he is denied the armor of Achilles. In his rage, Ajax plans to kill his commanding officers, but the goddess Athena intervenes and causes him to mistakenly slaughter a herd of cattle instead. Realizing what he has done, Ajax falls into a deep depression and ultimately takes his own life. The play explores themes of honor, pride, and the consequences of rash actions. It is considered one of Sophocles' greatest works and a masterpiece of ancient Greek drama.Athena 'twas I Restrained Him, Casting On His Eyes O'ermastering Notions Of That Baneful Ecstasy, That Turned His Rage On Flocks And Mingled Droves Of Booty Yet Unshared, Guarded By Herdsmen.
