Ajax

Ajax

Ajax was one big, beefy dude. Massive and strong, Ajax was considered Greece's second best warrior during the Trojan War (Achilles was #1). Hector of Troy came the closest to beating Ajax when the two fought one on one; but in the end, the daylong bout was a draw. When Achilles' armor was awarded to Odysseus instead of Ajax, the big guy went totally nuts and killed a bunch of sheep, thinking they were the Greeks who'd ticked him off. When he came to, he was so humiliated that he skewered himself. In the end, it seems, only Ajax could bring Ajax down.
