Ajax is a Greek tragedy written by Sophocles. The play is set during the Trojan War and tells the story of Ajax, a Greek warrior who is known for his bravery and strength. However, when he is passed over for the honor of receiving the armor of the slain hero Achilles, Ajax becomes consumed with anger and shame. He decides to take revenge by killing his Greek commanders, but is stopped by the goddess Athena, who causes him to hallucinate and believe that he has killed them. When Ajax realizes the truth, he is overcome with shame and decides to take his own life. The play explores themes of honor, pride, and the consequences of actions driven by emotion.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. Then Plunging Amid The Thronging Horns He Slew.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
