Hello Community,
Quote:
"Hector wins, but will not kill Ajax as he is Hector's father's sister's son (aka, his cousin)"
In the Iliad Ajax is not Hectors but Achilles' cousin!
As far as I know only in Shakespeare's T & C Ajax and Hector are cousins.
Does anyone know where this idea comes from, are there more sources, maybe used by Shakespeare telling us that Ajax is of "Trojan blood"?
