Background

I am Ajax the Greater, son of Telamon and Perrboea. My grandpa, Aeacus, is the son of Zeus. My half brother is my close friend, Teucer. I am also the king of Salamis. My cousin, Achilles, and I are the bravest and strongest warriors anyone can find. I am known as Ajax the Greater to distinguish myself from another Ajax, son of Oileus. People also refer to me as Telamonian Aias and the bulwark of the Achaeans.
