Ajas: Szomorujáték by Sophocles

"Ajas: Szomorujáték" by Sophocles is a Greek tragedy written in the 5th century BCE. After the legendary warrior Ajax is denied the armor of fallen Achilles, rage consumes him. The goddess Athena intervenes, casting delusions that lead to devastating consequences. When clarity returns, Ajax faces an unbearable shame that threatens his honor and legacy. His family pleads for his life while powerful enemies debate his fate, forcing a reckoning between ancient heroic values and questions of justice and respect.
