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?

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! Smile )
