[edit intro]

In the Iliad Ajax the Lesser is a notable Greek warrior, the leader of the Locrians. A more accurate transcription of his name is "Aias". He is called "the Lesser" because he is smaller than Great Ajax, the biggest and strongest fighter among the Greeks apart from Achilles. The two Ajaxes were frequently together in the fighting. Homer depicts the lesser Ajax as particularly good at running.
