Description

Explore the complex legacy of the Telamonian Ajax in this scholarly volume from De Gruyter. Part of the Trends in Classics series, this book investigates how meanings are realized through reception. It provides a deep look into the various points where the figure of Ajax connects with different historical and cultural contexts. The first section examines the construction and re-definition of the epic and tragic figure of Ajax within archaic and classical Greece.
