Ajax (mythology) | Myths of the World Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Myths of the World Wiki File:Achilles Ajax dice Louvre MNB911.jpg "Aias" redirects here. For other uses of this name, see AIAS and Ajax (disambiguation) . Ajax or Aias ( Greek : Template:Polytonic ) was a mythological Greek hero , the son of Telamon and Periboea and king of Salamis . [1] He plays an important role in Homer 's Iliad and in the Epic Cycle , a series of epic poems about the Trojan War . To distinguish him from Ajax, son of Oileus ( Ajax the Lesser ), he is called "Telamonian Ajax," "Greater Ajax," or "Ajax the Great". In Etruscan mythology , he is known as Aivas Tlamunus. Contents Edit In Homer's Iliad he is described as of great stature, colossal frame, the tallest and strongest of all the Achaeans , second only to Achilles in skill-at-arms, and Diomedes to whom he lost a sparring competition as well as the 'bulwark of the Mycenaeans'.

He was trained by the centaur Chiron (who had trained his father, Telamon , and Achilles' father Peleus ), at the same time as Achilles. Apart from Achilles, Ajax is the most valuable warrior in Agamemnon 's army (along with Diomedes ), though he is not as cunning as Nestor , Diomedes , Idomeneus , or Odysseus . He commands his army wielding a huge shield made of seven cow-hides with a layer of bronze. Most notably, Ajax is not wounded in any of the battles described in the Iliad, and he is the only principal character on either side who does not receive personal assistance from any of the gods who take part in the battles. Trojan War Edit In the Iliad, Ajax is notable for his abundant strength and courage, seen particularly in two fights with Hector . In Book 7, Ajax is chosen by lot to meet Hector in a duel which lasts most of a whole day.

Ajax at first gets the better of the encounter, wounding Hector with his spear and knocking him down with a large stone, but Hector fights on until the heralds , acting at the direction of Zeus , call a draw: the action ends without a winner and with the two combatants exchanging gifts. The second fight between Ajax and Hector occurs when the latter breaks into the Mycenaean camp, and fights with the Greeks among the ships. In Book 14, Ajax throws a giant rock at Hector which almost kills him. In Book 15, Hector is restored to his strength by Apollo and returns to attack the ships, Ajax, wielding an enormous spear as a weapon and leaping from ship to ship, holds off the Trojan armies virtually single-handedly. In Book 16, Hector and Ajax duel once again. Hector is set on burning the ships, the only way he feels the Greeks will truly be defeated. Hector is able to disarm Ajax (although Ajax is not hurt) and Ajax is forced to retreat, seeing that Zeus is clearly favoring Hector. Hector and the Trojans succeed in burning one Greek ship, the culmination of an assault that almost finishes the war.

Ajax is responsible for the death of many Trojans lords, including Phorkys . Ajax often fought in tandem with his brother Teucer, known for his skill with the bow. Ajax would wield his magnificent shield, as Teucer stood behind picking off enemy Trojans. Achilles was absent during these encounters because of his feud with Agamemnon. In Book 9, Agamemnon and the other Mycenaean chiefs send Ajax, Odysseus and Phoenix to the tent of Achilles in an attempt to reconcile with the great warrior and induce him to return to the fight. Although Ajax speaks earnestly and is well received, he does not succeed in convincing Achilles. When Patroclus is killed, Hector tries to steal his body. Ajax, assisted by Menelaus , succeeds in fighting off the Trojans and taking the body back with his chariot; however, the Trojans had already stripped Patroclus of Achilles' armour. Ajax's prayer to Zeus to remove the fog that has descended on the battle to allow them to fight or die in the light of day has become proverbial. According to Hyginus , In total, Ajax killed 28 people at Troy.

[2] Death File:Ajax (Carstens).jpg Like most of the other Greek leaders, Ajax is alive and well as the Iliad comes to a close. Later, when Achilles dies, killed by Paris (with help from Apollo), Ajax and Odysseus are the heroes that fight against the Trojans to get the body and bury it next to his friend, Patroclus. Ajax, with his great shield and spear, manages to drive off the Trojans, while Odysseus pulls the body to his chariot, and rides away with it to safety. After the burial, both claim the armour for themselves, as recognition for their efforts. After several days of competition, Odysseus and Ajax are tied for the ownership of the magical armour which was forged in Mount Olympus by the god Hephaestus. It is then that a competition is held to determine who deserves the armour. Ajax argues that because of his strength and the fighting he has done for the Greeks, including saving the ships from Hector, and driving him off with a massive rock, he deserves the armour. [3] Odysseus proves the more eloquent, and the council gives him the armour.

Ajax, "[U]nconqured," and furious, falls upon his own sword, "conquered by his [own] sorrow" (ibid, p. 318). A translation of the debate and Ajax's death can be found here ( ). In Sophocles' play Ajax , a famous retelling of Ajax's demise takes place - after the armour is awarded to Odysseus the hero Ajax falls to the ground, exhausted. When he wakes up, he is under the influence of a spell from Athena. He goes to a flock of sheep and slaughters them, imagining they are the Achaean leaders, including Odysseus and Agamemnon. When he comes to his senses, covered in blood, and realizes what he did, with diminished honor he decides that he prefers to kill himself rather than to live in shame. He does so with the same sword Hector gave him when they exchanged presents. ( Iliad , 7.303). From his blood sprang a red flower, as at the death of Hyacinthus , which bore on its leaves the initial letters of his name Ai, also expressive of lament ( Pausanias 1.35.4).

His ashes were deposited in a golden urn on the Rhoetean promontory at the entrance of the Hellespont . In Pindar 's Nemeans, 7, 8; Isthmian 4; and in Ovid 's Metamorphoses , 13.1. Homer is somewhat vague about the precise manner of Ajax's death but does ascribe it to his loss in the dispute over Achilles's shield: when Odysseus visits Hades , he begs the soul of Ajax to speak to him, but Ajax, still resentful over the old quarrel, refuses and descends silently back into Erebus . Like Achilles, he is represented (although not by Homer) as living after his death in the island of Leuke at the mouth of the Danube ( Pausanias 3.19.11). Ajax, who in the post-Homeric legend is described as the grandson of Aeacus and the great-grandson of Zeus, was the tutelary hero of the island of Salamis , where he had a temple and an image, and where a festival called Aianteia was celebrated in his honour (Pausanias 1.35).

At this festival a couch was set up, on which the panoply of the hero was placed, a practice which recalls the Roman Lectisternium . The identification of Ajax with the family of Aeacus was chiefly a matter which concerned the Athenians , after Salamis had come into their possession, on which occasion Solon is said to have inserted a line in the Iliad (2.557-558), for the purpose of supporting the Athenian claim to the island. Ajax then became an Attic hero; he was worshipped at Athens , where he had a statue in the market-place, and the tribe Aiantis was named after him. Pausanias also relates that a gigantic skeleton, its kneecap Template:Convert in diameter, appeared on the beach near Sigeum, on the Trojan coast; these bones were identified as those of Ajax. Family Edit Ajax is the son of Telamon , who was the son of Aeacus and grandson of Zeus , and his first wife Periboea . He is the cousin of Achilles , the most remembered Greek warrior, and is the elder half-brother of Teucer .

Many illustrious Athenians , including Cimon , Miltiades , Alcibiades and the historian Thucydides , traced their descent from Ajax. The Italian Scholar Maggiani recently showed as on an Etruscan tomb, dedicated to Racvi Satlnei in Bologna (5th century A.C.), there is the writing: " aivastelmunsl = family of Ajax Télamon". Palace Edit In 2001, Yannos Lolos began excavating a Mycenaean palace on the island of Salamis which he supposed to be the home of the mythological Aiacid dynasty. The ruins have been excavated at a site near the village of Kanakia of Salamis, a few miles off the coast of Athens. The multi-story structure covers 750 m² (8,000 sq ft ) and had perhaps 30 rooms. The Trojan War is supposed by many Template:Who to have occurred at the height of the Mycenaean civilization (see discussion of Troy VII ), roughly the point at which this palace appears to have been abandoned.

しかし、アテーナーはオデュッセウスを救うために大アイアースを狂わせ、羊を諸将と思わせるようにした。大アイアースは羊を殺しまくったが、ふと自分が殺したのが羊であったことに気がついた。神にあざむかれた大アイアースは、神に嫌われギリシアの諸将も自分を評価しないことを嘆き、彼らのために戦うことの虚しさから自刃して果てた。この顛末はスミュルナのクイントゥスの『トロイア戦記』やソポクレースの悲劇『アイアース』に描かれている。なお、ソポクレースはアテーナーがアイアースを狂わせた原因を、戦場でアテーナーの庇護をアイアースが拒んだ高慢への罰であるとしている。 (ja) Ajax (van het Latijnse Aiax; Oudgrieks: Αἴας, Aias) is de naam van twee helden (samen genaamd 'Aianten') uit de

Był drugim (po Achillesie) pod względem dzielności wojownikiem achajskim. Omal udało mu się zabić Hektora za pomocą ogromnego głazu. Zabił wielu Trojan.

Kiedy Achilles zginął z ręki Parysa, Ajaks razem z Odyseuszem wynieśli jego ciało z pola bitwy. Odyseusz wywiózł je na swoim rydwanie, a Ajas go osłaniał. Potem obaj rywalizowali o zbroję po Achillesie i wygrał Odyseusz. Gdy zmęczony Ajas zasnął, Atena zesłała na niego szał. Kiedy się obudził, wyrżnął stado baranów, które wziął za achajskich przywódców (w tym Odyseusza i Agamemnona). Oprzytomniawszy, ze wstydu popełnił samobójstwo.

He plays an important role in Homer's Iliad and in the Epic Cycle, a series of epic poems about the Trojan War. Aia (pronounced eye-a) is a small village situated on the slopes of Mount Pagoeta in the Basque Province of Guipuzcoa, Spain. It is located 30 km to the west of San Sebastian and about 10 km inland from the coastal town of Zarautz.

It is 221 km to the west of Tbilisi. aia travel insurance - AIA Guide AIA Guide to New York City Hailed as "extraordinarily learned" (New York Times), "blithe in spirit and unerring in vision," (New York Magazine), and the "definitive record of New York's architectural heritage" (Municipal Art Society), Norval White and Elliot Willensky's book is an essential reference for everyone with an interest in architecture and those who simply want to know more about New York City.

First published in 1968, the AIA Guide to New York City has long been the definitive guide to the city's architecture. Moving through all five boroughs, neighborhood by neighborhood, it offers the most complete overview of New York's significant places, past and present. The Fifth Edition continues to include places of historical importance--including extensive coverage of the World Trade Center site--while also taking full account of the construction boom of the past 10 years, a boom that has given rise to an unprecedented number of new buildings by such architects as Frank Gehry, Norman Foster, and Renzo Piano. All of the buildings included in the Fourth Edition have been revisited and re-photographed and much of the commentary has been re-written, and coverage of the outer boroughs--particularly Brooklyn--has been expanded. Famed skyscrapers and historic landmarks are detailed, but so, too, are firehouses, parks, churches, parking garages, monuments, and bridges. Boasting more than 3000 new photographs, 100 enhanced maps, and thousands of short and spirited entries, the guide is arranged geographically by borough, with each borough divided into sectors and then into neighborhood.

Extensive commentaries describe the character of the divisions. Knowledgeable, playful, and beautifully illustrated, here is the ultimate guided tour of New York's architectural treasures. Acclaim for earlier editions of the AIA Guide to New York City: "An extraordinarily learned, personable exegesis of our metropolis. No other American or, for that matter, world city can boast so definitive a one-volume guide to its built environment." -- Philip Lopate, New York Times "Blithe in spirit and unerring in vision." -- New York Magazine "A definitive record of New York's architectural heritage... witty and helpful pocketful which serves as arbiter of architects, Baedeker for boulevardiers, catalog for the curious, primer for preservationists, and sourcebook to students. For all who seek to know of New York, it is here. No home should be without a copy." -- Municipal Art Society "There are two reasons the guide has entered the pantheon of New York books.

One is its encyclopedic nature, and the other is its inimitable style--'smart, vivid, funny and opinionated' as the architectural historian Christopher Gray once summed it up in pithy W & W fashion." -- Constance Rosenblum, New York Times "A book for architectural gourmands and gastronomic gourmets." -- The Village Voice NYC - Grand Central Terminal Grand Central Terminal (GCT) is the largest train station in the world by number of platforms: 44, with 67 tracks along them. They are on two underground levels, with 41 tracks on the upper level and 26 on the lower. It serves commuters traveling on the Metro-North Railroad to Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties in New York State, and Fairfield and New Haven counties in Connecticut. Although it has been properly called "Grand Central Terminal" for a century, many people continue to refer to it as "Grand Central Station". Technically, that is the name of the nearby post office, as well as the name of a previous rail station on the site.

Outside the station, the clock in front of the Grand Central facade facing 42nd Street contains the world's largest example of Tiffany glass and is surrounded by sculptures carved by the John Donnelly Company of Minerva, Hercules and Mercury. For the terminal building French sculptor Jules-Alexis Coutan created what was at the time of its unveiling (1914) considered to be the largest sculptural group in the world. It was 48 feet (14.6 m) high, the clock in the center having a circumference of 13 feet (4 m). The 808 foot tall (246.6m), 58-floor, 2.8 million ft? Met Life Building, formerly the Pan Am Building, was the largest commercial office building in the world when it opened on March 7, 1963. Pan American World Airways was the building's owner for many years. Its logotype was depicted on a sign that was placed on the north and south faces and its globe logo was depicted on a sign that was placed on the east and west faces. In 1981, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company purchased the building from Pan Am.

When Pan Am ceased operations in 1991, MetLife replaced the Pan Am logos with its own, renaming the building the MetLife Building. This name is also informally held by the MetLife Tower. In 2005, MetLife sold the building for $1.72 billion, the highest recorded price for an office building in the United States. The buyer was a joint venture of Tishman Speyer Properties, the New York City Employees' Retirement System, and the New York City Teachers' Retirement System. The building was also known for its helicopter service to JFK International Airport, a seven-minute flight that left from the rooftop helipad. This service was offered only between 1965 and 1968 and for a few months in 1977 and was ended after a spectacular accident that killed five people. On May 16, 1977, a broken landing gear caused a parked Sikorsky S-61L with rotors still turning to tip over, killing four people who were outside the helicopter waiting to board, including exploitation filmmaker Michael Findlay.

Part of a rotor blade sailed over the side of the building and killed a pedestrian on the corner of Madison and 43rd street. Two other people were seriously injured. Another notorious moment in the building's history was Eli M. Black's spectacular suicide on February 3, 1975. The CEO of United Brands Company (now Chiquita Brands International) used his briefcase to shatter an external window and then jumped out of the forty-four story window to his death on Park Avenue. The building's most famous "residents" are a pair of Peregrine Falcons nicknamed Lois and Clark who nest there and dine on the pigeons. Designed by Emery Roth & Sons with the assistance of Walter Gropius and Pietro Belluschi, the Pan Am Building is an example of a Brutalist or International style skyscraper. It is purely commercial in design with large floors, simple massing, and an absence of luxurious detailing inside or out. Although disliked by architecture critics and many New Yorkers, it has been popular with tenants, not least because of its location next to Grand Central Terminal. While condemned by some, many of the most influential architects of the twentieth century have commended the MetLife Building since its completion.

With a shape similar to that of Pirelli Tower in Milan, MetLife is subtle while unique in its lozenge shape, in affect referencing its monumental position. Set apart from many of its contemporaries, MetLife has a heavy pre-cast facade that might have appealed to those looking for an historicist design. In 2007, Grand Central Station was ranked #13 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.
