By Ben Potter Aias to the Greeks, Aiax to the Romans, now known to us as the anglicized Ajax, he was 'the best of all men that ever came to Troy, save only Achilles'. However, Ajax's status as number two in the Greek pecking order wasn't always fully appreciated. After Achilles perished when the arrow fired by the Trojan prince Paris pierced his Achilles' heel (oh the irony!) and Ajax gallantly carried his fallen comrade from the battlefield, it was assumed that the coveted armor worn by the slain hero would pass on to the number two warrior, Ajax.
