Ajas: Szomorujáték

After the fall of Troy, the legendary weapons of Achilles become a prize coveted by the war council, especially Agamemnon and Menelaus, who assign them to Odysseus. Ajas, the son of Telamon, also claims a right to the arms, recalling his own heroics that once saved the Achaean host. When the council’s decision fuels a night‑long frenzy, the camp’s servants and shepherds are brutally slaughtered, leaving the survivors bewildered and terrified.

Athena intervenes, diverting the murderous rage toward innocent victims and urging Odysseus to uncover the truth behind the carnage. As the hero stalks the shoreline and the tents of Ajas, he must navigate divine whispers, whispered accusations, and his own doubts about loyalty and justice. The drama unfolds in a tense blend of mythic intrigue and human desperation, setting the stage for a tragic quest that pits honor against vengeance.
