A retelling of Sophocles · 445 BC
Ajax
“At Troy, the great warrior Ajax, denied the armour of Achilles, sets out at night to kill the Greek commanders — and the goddess Athena drives him mad, so that he slaughters the army's cattle instead. When he wakes to his disgrace, the proudest hero of the Greeks must decide how to live, or die, with honour.”
