Sophocles' Ajax is one of the most disturbing and powerful
surviving ancient tragedies. But it is also difficult to understand
and interpret. What are we to make of its protagonist's extremism?
Does Ajax deserve the isolation and divine punishment he
experiences? Why is his state of mind so difficult to determine? Dr
Hesk offers answers to these and many other questions by drawing
together the very latest critical work on the play and introducing
the reader to key frames for its interpretation, including
Sophoclean heroism, language and form; Homeric intertextuality and
Athens' 'masculinist' culture, and the twentieth-century reception
of Ajax.
