[[What an Idiot!|After rejecting the help of the gods, boasting about his self-made status, and starting off for a killing rampage after Athena's favourite hero]], '''Ajax''' is struck with madness, temporarily under the belief that the sheep and cattle he is slaughtering are the Greek hordes. His emnity against his fellow soldiers stems from [[The Iliad|Achilles']] armor being awarded to Odysseus, despite that Ajax is now the best living warrior and most alike to Achilles.
Odysseus shows up at Ajax's tent curious to know whether the rumours are true. Athena herself meets him, reveals what she has done, and [[Jerkass Gods|gloats]]. Odysseus is put off by this. As Ajax's war bride and [[Greek Chorus|entourage]] [[Info Dump|fret]] about his many hours spent delusionally torturing sheep, Ajax finally regains his senses, and is utterly humiliated. Though they try to persuade him not to do anything drastic, and think of the children, after giving a nice sounding speech that is actually loaded with the implication he is going to commit suicide, he goes out to "bury Hektor's sword".
