Iliad
Great Achaean warrior from Salamis, ranked as the best fighter in the army while Achilles stays out of battle.
Ajax brought twelve ships from Salamis, and stationed them alongside those of the Athenians.
Of the men, Ajax, son of Telamon, was much the foremost so long as Achilles' anger lasted, for Achilles excelled him greatly and he had also better horses;
He was not so great, nor nearly so great, as Ajax the son of Telamon.
