| This article is about the son of Telamon. You may be looking for Ajax, the son of Oileus. |
Ajax was a legendary hero, the son of Telamon, and a participant in the Trojan War in Greek mythology. He died by his own hand at the end of the war.
After his death, Ajax was buried in a tomb located on the Isle of Salamis. He also had a sanctuary dedicated to him on the island which, by the 5th century BCE, had been rendered a ruin, and bandits had set up camp there.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War the Spartan misthios Kassandra visited Ajax's sanctuary in search of a treasure buried there by the Athenian general Themistokles.[2]
Around the same time she also visited Ajax's tomb and recovered Ajax's golden feather which had ended up in the possession of some bandits camped at the tomb entrance.[3]
Trivia
- In the myths, Ajax’s body is never brought back to Salamis from Troy and 2nd century geographer Pausanias would later attribute a giant skeleton found near Sigeion to that of Ajax.
