As we all know, the name of Ajax Club comes from the hero "Ajax-Ajax" in ancient Greek mythology. What kind of character is Ajax in Greek mythology? Let's read a fairy tale about Ajax.
First, Ajax's life experience
According to Greek mythology, Ajax is as big as a giant, his father is Telamon, one of the bravest heroes in Greek mythology, and Telamon and Peleus are brothers, which means that Ajax and peleus's son Achilles are cousins. People who have seen the movie Troy should know that Achilles was the first warrior of Greece in the Trojan War, and in Greek mythology, Ajax was called the second warrior of Greece.
Ajax's mother is Hesione, a Trojan, and Hesione is the sister of Priam, the old king of Troy in the movie Troy. Priam is Paris, hector's father. Hesione was captured by Telamon in the war and later became Telamon's wife.
The name "Ajax" was given by Herakles.
Hercules is the illegitimate child of Zeus, the most respected god in Greece. Heracles was released from heaven because of the jealousy of Zeus' wife Hera. Hercules suffered a lot when he was young, and was once insulted by the tyrannical and despotic King laomedon of Troy. At that time, he bravely rescued Hesione, the king's daughter, from the evil Longkou, and embarked on the triumphant road to Amazon. Laomedon had promised to send it.
I gave him a good horse in return, but later I broke my word.
Hercules decided to get back at laomedon. He took a group of soldiers and six ships to attack Troy, including the famous Greek heroes peleus, Telamon and Oileus. At the swearing-in meeting, Hercules came to Telamon in a lion's skin and saw him eating. Telamon quickly stood up from the table, enthusiastically filled his golden cup and told him to sit down and drink together. Heracles was moved by his friend's enthusiasm. Pointing to the sky, he prayed, "Father Zeus, if you are kind, please listen to my request, please give Telamon a brave son, an invincible son, as brave as I am in Nemea lion skin." Before Hercules finished, Zeus gave him an eagle. Hercules shouted excitedly, "Hey, Telamon, you're going to get your dream son! He will be as strong as this eagle. The child's name is Ajax. "
Before long, Hercules joined Telamon and other heroes in Troy. Hercules finally killed laomedon, took laomedon's daughter Hesione and married her to Telamon. Then, Telamon and Hesione gave birth to Ajax.
Two. Ajax in the Trojan War
1. Achievements of Ajax and Achilles
Just like the movie Troy, the Greeks decided to attack Troy because Paris, the prince of Troy, kidnapped Helen, the beautiful queen of Sparta, and the Greek Coalition forces were led by King Agamemnon.
In the Greek allied forces, besides Achilles, the most heroic and invincible, another brave hero among the Greeks was Ajax, the son of Telamon. He is famous for plundering cities. He led the battleship all the way to Thrace Peninsula. This is the palace of King Pauline Nestor. Priam, king of Troy, sent his beloved little son Polodoros here to avoid the disaster of war. In return for king Thrace taking care of his son, Priam gave the king a lot of gold and jewels. However, King Thrace was a treacherous man. When Ajax attacked the city, he used these gold jewels and Borodolos to make peace with Ajax. He not only betrayed his friendship with King Priam, but also distributed the money and grain he got to Greek soldiers to raise Polodoros.
Ajax did not immediately return to Greece with the spoils, but went to the coast of Frikia. He violently attacked the kingdom of Teltras, killed the king in the confrontation, and took away his daughter Tekmesa. She is a noble and beautiful woman. Ajax appreciated her beauty and temperament, so he kept her around and treated her like a wife. If it weren't for the Greek custom of not marrying barbarians, he would formally marry her.
Achilles and Ajax returned home loaded. At the same time, they led the warships to the barracks outside Troy. The Greeks warmly welcomed them, surrounded the two heroes, and put crowns made of olive branches on their heads to reward their victory. Then, the heroes get together and discuss how to distribute the spoils they brought back. The Greeks regarded the booty as their own property. Now push the female prisoners to the front, their beauty is commendable. Achilles naturally assigned to Bob Riseth's daughter; Ajax also has the right to get Tekmesa, the daughter of King Teltras. Achilles was also allowed to keep Diomedes, a servant of Bressaeus. Because she didn't want to leave the daughter of the king who grew up together, she knelt in front of Achilles and begged tearfully not to let her leave her mistress. Finally, she was allowed. Cleopatra's daughter, Cleopatra Seyis, was presented to Agamemnon, the Greek king, to show her respect for her kingship. Achilles naturally agreed to give up what one favours. Other spoils, whether female prisoners or stolen goods, are equally distributed among the soldiers. Due to the proposal of Odysseus and diomedes, the property that King Pauline Nestor unloaded from the Ajax ship belongs to Ajax, but Agamemnon naturally got a lot of gold and silver from it.
2. The duel between Ajax and Hector
....................................................................................................................................................... In this way, .........................., the Trojans, led by their number one warrior hector, killed the retreating Greek army.
After being inspired by God, the Trojan Prophet Helena quickly found hector and said to him, "Wise hector, will you take my advice this time?" I suggest you challenge one of the bravest heroic battles in Greece. There is no danger in doing so, because you are doomed not to die. "
Hector was very happy to hear that. He told the Trojan soldiers to stop moving forward, and then went to the front with a spear in his hand. Soldiers from both sides saw his move and stopped fighting. Agamemnon also ordered the Greeks to stop. Athena and Apollo became two goshawks, perched on the sacred tree of Zeus and looked at the chaotic scene here. At last everyone was quiet, and hector began to speak: "Soldiers of Troy and Greece, please listen to my heartfelt advice! The peace treaty we concluded not long ago was not ratified by Zeus. He put our two countries at war, and the result was obvious. Either you conquer Troy, or you and your warships are completely destroyed under our attack. Greece's bravest hero is in your barracks. Anyone who has the courage to fight with me, please come forward. My terms are simple. I hereby ask Zeus to testify that if my opponent kills me with a spear, he can take my weapon as a trophy, but he should return my body to Troy and let it get a grand burial in his hometown. If Apollo gives me honor and lets my opponent die by my spear, I will strip off his armor and hang it in the temple of Athena in Troy. Of course, you can transport the deceased back to the warship, bury him solemnly, and build a tomb for him in Heleqigu Bay, so that future generations can mourn: Look, there is a hero here who was killed by the god hector! "
Greeks remain silent, because it is a shame to refuse a challenge, but life is in danger to accept it. When they were in trouble, Menelaus stood up and scolded his compatriots and said, "You cowards are all like women, not like men at all. If no one dares to fight hector, it will really put us to shame! I am willing to fight and let the gods decide their fate! "
He tightened his armor, but if the Greek princes didn't drag him back in time, he would die this time. Agamemnon took his hand and said, "Brother, why do you want to fight this powerful opponent?" Are you out of your mind? You know, even Achilles dared not make a move when he saw him on the battlefield. We ask you to think twice. "Menelaus listened to him, and then Nestor reprimanded his soldiers and told them the story of his decisive battle with Eloute Halion, an Agate." "If I were young," he concluded, "and as strong as I was then, hector would soon find his opponent! "
No sooner had he finished than nine princes jumped out of the army at the same time. The first was Agamemnon, followed by diomedes, then Ajax, then Idomenius, and his partners Merios, euripides, Toas and Odysseus. They all said they would fight Hector. "Let's draw lots," Nestor said. "Whoever wins the lottery will be proud and happy for all Greeks." So everyone made a brand and put it in Agamemnon's helmet. The soldiers prayed together. Nestor shook his helmet and jumped out. The helmet was signed by Ajax, the son of Telamon. A herald showed the sign to the heroes. Ajax shouted happily, "Friends, this is mine. I am very happy, because I hope to beat hector. Pray for me when I am ready! "
The Greeks obeyed his will. So Ajax tightened his shining armor and strode to the battlefield. He waved a thick spear, like a god of war, with a smile on his serious face. The Greeks were very happy to see his mighty image, but the soldiers in Troy were afraid, and even hector felt his heart beat faster. But he can't back down, because he started the duel. Ajax approached hector and threatened him, saying, "hector, you should know that there are other Greek heroes besides peleus's son Lion Heart. Ok, let's start fighting! "
Hector replied, "The great son of Telamon, don't tease me as a weak child. I have been through many battles and have rich combat experience. You are a brave man. I can't use tricks. I will throw my spear in front of you and see if it can hit you. "
With that, he quickly threw a spear and hit Ajax's shield. The spear point penetrated six layers of cowhide, but did not penetrate the seventh layer. Now it's Ajax's turn to throw the spear. It went through the air, penetrated hector's shield and pierced his armor. If Hector doesn't dodge in time, it will pierce his abdomen. Now both sides are attacking each other with spears. Hector aimed at the center of Ajax's shield and stabbed it, but the spear was bent and could not pierce the bronze shield. On the contrary, Ajax pierced the opponent's shield, cut his neck and immediately bled. Hector took two steps back. His right hand firmly grasped a stone and hit Ajax's shield with a bang. Ajax picked up a bigger stone from the ground and threw it at hector, piercing hector's shield and hurting his knee. Hector couldn't help stumbling back a few steps, but he still grabbed the shield. Apollo, who was hiding beside him, reached out and hugged him. The two men drew their swords again and rushed to each other for the final decisive battle.
At this time, the messengers of both sides hurried forward. The messenger of Trojans is Etruscan, and the messenger of Greeks is Tardi Pioz. They raised sticks to separate the two brave war heroes. "Stop fighting," shouted the Etruscan. "You are all brave people, all loved by Zeus. This is what we all see! Now it's getting late, please obey the orders of the night and stop fighting! " "Tell it to your compatriots!" Ajax replied, "It was he who challenged the bravest Greeks! If he agrees to a truce, so do I! " Hector said to his opponent, "Ajax, God only gave you strong body, strength and spear throwing skills. Let's have a truce today, and then we will duel until God gives us only one of the two countries victory! Now let's exchange gifts as souvenirs, so that the Trojans and Greeks will have reason to say,' Look, they tried to fight to the death in the battle, but they broke up and formed a deep friendship!' "hector said, and gave the silver handle sword, scabbard and beautiful sword to each other. Ajax took off his purple and gold belt and handed it to hector. Finally, the two sides broke up separately.

3. Ajax defends the Greek warship base camp
......
Because Achilles refused to fight, the Greeks gradually lost in the battle. On the other hand, Hector is fearless. He led the Trojans forward bravely and went straight to the stronghold of the Greeks composed of warships. The two sides fought fiercely again. Ajax stood powerfully in front of the Greek stronghold, blocking the advance route of the Trojan army. Hector shot Ajax first. But Ajax's shield and broad sword belt on his chest protected his body from harm. Hector lost his weapon and reluctantly retreated to his team. Ajax threw a boulder behind him. Hector was not on guard. He was hit in the back and fell to the ground. Shields and helmets were flying around, and bulletproof vests jingled. The Greeks cheered in unison, and spears rained down on them, trying to snatch hector from the ground. Heroes of Troy came to the rescue. Aeneas, Polodamas, noble agenor, Salpeidong, a Lucayan and his companion Glaucus surrounded him, blocked his body with a shield, lifted him up from the ground, carried him to the chariot and safely returned to Troy.
When the Greeks saw hector escape, they pursued the enemy more bravely. Ajax was braver, shooting in all directions and killing many Trojans. However, several heroes of the Greeks were killed, which made their partners very sad. Little Ajax showed his talent for revenge for the dead. He rushed into the Trojans' team and chopped them like leaves. The Trojans were in chaos and panic, so they retreated from the trenches and fled over the stockade.
Zeus sent his son Apollo to hector. Apollo saw that hector was no longer lying on the ground, but sat up. Zeus gave him strength to wake him up. Hector felt that he no longer sweated, breathed more smoothly and could move his limbs. When Apollo came to him with sympathy, he looked up sadly and said, "merciful god, you care so much about me and come to see me." Who are you? " Did you hear that the brave Ajax hit me in the chest with a huge stone, which prevented me from winning the war? I thought I was doomed and I was going to hell today! ""please rest assured! Apollo replied, "I am the son of Zeus, Phobos." . He sent me to protect you, just as I helped you before. I'm going to wave my sword and open the way for you. You board your chariot, and I will help you drive the Greeks to the sea! "
Hector immediately jumped up and jumped into the chariot after hearing what Apollo said. When the Greeks saw Hector flying towards them, they were stunned. The first person who saw hector was the Ethiopian Toas. He immediately told the prince what he had seen. "God, it's a miracle." He shouted, "We all saw hector being knocked down by Ajax with a boulder, but now he has stood up again and rushed over in a chariot. This must be Zeus helping him! Take my advice and order the troops to return to the warship, so that the bravest people can stay here and resist his attack with us. "
The heroes followed his wise advice. They gathered the bravest soldiers and quickly gathered around Ajax, Idomenius, Merios and Tokris. The rest of the soldiers retreated to the battleship under their cover. At the same time, the Trojans rushed in in a dense team. Hector stood high on the chariot and led the soldiers forward. Apollo hid in the clouds, holding a terrible shield, and guided hector forward courageously. Greek heroes are ready, and both sides are shouting loudly. In a short time, guns were heard and bowstrings rang. In close combat, the Trojans did not lose their arrows, because Apollo, Phobos, was always with them. As long as he waved a golden shield and roared in the clouds, the Greeks were terrified and helpless.
Policy. I don't know how to defend it.
Hector, who first killed Styx, the king of the Botians, and then stabbed Arce Silas, a loyal friend of Minas Thoth; Aeneas killed Yasos, the Athenian, and Modon, the half-brother of Ajax, the Loki, and handed over their weapons and armor. Mel Cartas was killed by Prudamus. Polonius killed Carl, and Clooney was stabbed to death by agenor. Djokos was fleeing from the position when Paris shot him with a gun, which went straight through his chest from his back. While the Trojans were busy peeling off the armor of the fallen soldiers, the Greeks made a mess and fled to the trenches and stockades. Some of them had retreated behind the fence. At this time, hector loudly encouraged the Trojans: "Put down those armored bodies and rob the warships!" "He let out a cry and ran to the ditch in a chariot, and all the heroes of Troy followed him in a chariot.
Apollo stood in the middle of the trench, raised his feet full of divine power and slammed on the loose edge of the trench. The trench collapsed and paved a passage. The sun god first crossed the ditch from the passage and knocked down the Greek wall with a golden shield. The Greeks fled into the tunnel between warships, raised their hands in the air and prayed only to God. When Nestor prayed, Zeus expressed deep sympathy and responded to him with compassionate thunder. The Trojans thought that the sky was a good omen, so they shouted and rushed into the fence with their horses and men, and slashed their swords from the chariots. The Greeks fled to the warships and defended the enemy on the deck.
When the Greeks and Trojans fought fiercely on the fence, Patroclus was still sitting in Eurydice palos's beautiful tent to heal. When he heard the cries of Trojans struggling to attack the fence and the horrible cry for help when Greeks fled, he patted his thigh and said painfully, "Eurydice, although I want to continue to treat you, I can't stay here for too long now." The noise of killing people outside is so loud that I can't sit still! I must go to Achilles, hoping to persuade him to fight again with God's blessing! "
The competition for ships is becoming more and more fierce, and the two sides are deadlocked. Hector and Ajax are fighting for a warship. However, hector could neither push Ajax into the water nor set fire to the warships. Of course, Ajax could not repel hector's attack. Ajax shot hector's relative Karetor, and hector turned and killed Ajax's partner Luc Foon. Tokros hurried to help his brother and shot an arrow at Kritos, the charioteer of Polo Damace, from behind. Poludamas fought on foot and struggled to hold the escaped horse. Close saw clearly and shot another arrow at hector, but Zeus broke the bow and arrow and the arrow flew to one side. The archer sadly found that God was only obstructing him. Then Ajax suggested that his brother put down his bow and arrow and fight with spears and shields. Tucclos did what he wanted to do and put a strong helmet on his head. Hector shouted forward to the soldiers: "Heroes, March forward bravely! I found that Thor himself broke the Greek bow and arrow! The gods are only on our side! "
Ajax also shouted on the other side: "Greeks, shame!" We either die or save this warship, there is no other choice! If Hector destroys the battleship, you will have to walk home from the sea! "Then he raised his gun and stabbed a hero of Troy. However, every time hector killed a Trojan, he also killed a Greek.
In the bloody melee, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and now the main force of the Trojan is rushing to the warship. Zeus seems determined to satisfy thetis (Achilles' mother)' s ruthless wish (to make the Greeks rout before Achilles got Agamemnon's apology), because she was as angry as her son Achilles for a long time. Zeus waited. He wanted to set fire to a Greek warship as a signal to immediately change the war situation, put the fate of defeat on the Trojans and let the Greeks win again. At this moment, hector waved his knife angrily, foaming at the mouth, his eyes were fierce under his heavy eyebrows, and the feathers on his helmet were flying in the air. Zeus knew hector's death was coming, so he was the last one.
Give him divine strength and majesty. Pallas Athena is leading him to a cruel death step by step. But now Hector saw the place where the Greeks were most densely populated, and he rushed there. He fought hard for a long time and failed to win. Greeks stand closely together, just like a rock, and no wave can shake it.
Now the Greeks were hit hard again and began to retreat from the warships in the front row, but they were not defeated and continued to fight around the barracks. The Greeks encouraged each other, especially the old hero Nestor, who loudly encouraged the soldiers to fight bravely.
Ajax, the great son of Telamon, seized the opportunity to inspect the warship. He jumped from ship to ship with a 22-elbow paddle with a hoop, calling the Greeks down to fight. Hector was not idle. He rushed towards a warship. Zeus pushed him from behind and told him to move on. The soldiers rushed after him.
The bloody battle for this ship has begun again. The Greeks would rather die than retreat, but the Trojans wanted to set fire to the warships. Hector took the opportunity to occupy the stern of a warship. This is the big ship that Palot Silas took when he came to Troy, but he was the first person to die in this war. The battleship is still there, but it's a pity that we can't take him home. Now the Trojans are swarming in, the Greeks are fighting to the death, and the two sides are desperately fighting for this warship. Hand-to-hand combat, bows and spears are useless, everyone is waving tomahawks and swords, and the ground is bleeding like a river. Hector grasped the stern tightly and recovered a little. He shouted, "Bring a torch and set it on fire! Zeus finally gave us a chance for revenge! These ships have brought us so much suffering, let's occupy them, this is Zeus' order! "
Ajax seems unable to resist hector's attack. The arrow is fierce and urgent, so he can't prevent it; He retreated slightly from the ship's side and leaned against the helmsman's seat, but he still stubbornly resisted the enemy and waved a spear to stop the Trojans approaching the warship with torches. At the same time, Ajax shouted to his partners and soldiers in a thunderous voice: "Friends, it's time for you to become heroes!" " ! You don't have a city to hide from like the Trojans, and there is no room for you to retreat! We are far from our homeland, but we are on enemy land. Our fate depends on the strength of two arms! "He cried, while holding a torch to assassinate Trojans near the ship. Soon, there were twelve bodies of Trojans lying in front of him.
