The story of Ajax shows the changeability of human fortune and human nature. Despite being a hero (with the aid of the goddess Athena) during the rescue of Achilles’ body from the Trojans, he eventually turned to treachery in an attempt to obtain Achilles’ armour. His suicide marked the end of a once heroic life.
