Ájax – Uma tragédia grega

The play delves deep into Ajax's psyche, and I'm curious how Sophocles chose to portray his descent into madness. Was this based on historical beliefs or a narrative choice?

His tragic pride and sense of dignity made me wonder whether he was a hero or a victim of his own hubris. How did others interpret his motivations?

The notions of glory and shame seem so rooted in Greek culture; do these themes still resonate in modern perspectives on reputation and mental health?
