Ajax is a powerful Greek tragedy penned in the 5th century BC, though its exact debut remains a mystery. Most scholars believe it to be an early work, likely composed around 450 - 430 BC. The play delves into the tumultuous fate of the warrior Ajax, set in the aftermath of the Iliad and just prior to the climax of the Trojan War. At the storys outset, Ajax is consumed by rage after Achilles armor is awarded to Odysseus instead of him. In his fury, he vows to exact revenge on the Greek leaders who have dishonored him. However, before he can carry out his drastic plan, the goddess Athena deceives him into mistaking the livestock claimed by the Achaeans as the Greek leaders. The narrative unfolds as we witness Ajaxs tragic descent into madness, ultimately leading to his heartbreaking suicide. - Summary by Wikipedia (edited by Expatriate)Copyright Family and Culture アート 世界 戯曲・演劇 文学史・文学批評
