Ajax? - mayan king - 08-17-2006
i was not aware of this
Archaeologist links palace to legendary Ajax
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12080932/
not sure how strong the link is in finding ajax or even a tomb..but ..none the less..it is a great discovery
p.s. was ajax buried in a tomb or was he creamated?

Nice article. Based on the article, it does all seam plausible, but unless we find an artifact that names Ajax himself, we'll never know whether he was an actual king of Salamis.

Aren't cremation urns sometimes found in tombs?

Quote:p.s. was ajax buried in a tomb or was he creamated?Pausanias says he was buried, but he doesn't say where. (Presumably at Troy where he fell.)
(Of course, we are talking about a mythical king!
