Sophocles: Ajax by Sophocles

4.0

---

Seriously good play. Greek tragedies, although massively depressing, are never a let down, and carry really interesting messages that have lasted the test of time. I adore Tecmessa, she has great monologues and is generally a really good Greek heroine; considering Sophocles was a man and probably as alpha-male as most Greek men, I mentally nod in his direction for her spunky yet sensitive character.
