Abstract
Ajax rarely puts in an appearance on screen and when he does turn up it is usually in his epic guise as the staunch defender of the Greeks from the Iliad. Despite the recent upsurge in popularity of Sophocles’ tragic version of the hero on stage his madness and suicide have proven hard to translocate onto the big screen. But, what happens if we go on a search of the ancient hero in post 9/11 war movies? Bakogianni grapples with the question of how far we can take Classical Reception and argues for a more inclusive approach. This chapter draws on Adaptation Studies and meme theory to argue that we can form meaningful connections between the ancient Ajax and modern screen portrayals of warriors.

I use the term ‘deep’ deliberately, referencing Shane Butler’s work on ‘deep classics’, as defined in the introduction to his 2016 collection of the same title: 1–19.

The play is hard to date and scholarly opinions vary considerably with dates ranging from the 450s to 420s BCE. For a useful summary of the varying views see Rosenbloom (2014: 1256–77).

A notable example of how Ajax can successfully be utilized as a powerful tool to spark discussion of these difficult topics is the Theatre of War project, which uses readings of the play as a starting point for discussions with veterans, their families, and the wider public. http://theaterofwar.com/projects/theater-of-war/overview (accessed 17/06/2017). This topical interpretation of Ajax will be discussed further below. For the connection between ancient drama and healing, see Hartigan (2009). Two notable contemporary adaptations of Sophocles’ play are Ellen McLaughlin’s Ajax in Iraq (2011) and Timberlake Wertenbaker’s Our Ajax (2013) which examine modern conflicts through the prism of the ancient play. In his review of Our Ajax, Michael Billington wrote: ‘The play … offers a compelling picture of the damage war inflicts on the individual psyche, and of the insane demands it places on the leaders as well as the led.’ https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2013/nov/08/our-ajax-review (accessed 24/03/2017). His verdict testifies to the success of Wertenbaker’s adaptation which translocates the ancient tragic hero to a modern setting.

Another indicative example is Ajax AFC, one of the oldest football teams (founded in 1900), based in Amsterdam. The Dutch team’s logo is an image of the ancient hero that emphasizes his strength and prowess as a warrior: http://english.ajax.nl/streams/ajax-now.htm (accessed 19/06/2017).

Most notably in Gran Torino (2013) in which Eastwood played on his macho image and audience expectations to deliver an unexpected ending. He plays a Korean War veteran who at the end sacrifices himself to save a young man. He does so not by using a gun as in his earlier roles, but by inciting the gang persecuting his friend to shoot him dead in public, thus engineering their arrest.

Wertenbaker’s Our Ajax is a case in point. The play features an Ajax ‘whose soul belongs to his men’ (2013: 24) and who takes responsibility for every fatality caused by his ‘decisions’ in battle (54).

Symptoms include: flashbacks, bad dreams, bad thoughts, feeling emotionally numb, guilt, depression, worry, showing no interest in activities one enjoyed in the past, having trouble remembering the traumatic event, feelings of helplessness, dwelling on the unfairness of the situation, distrust, viewing the world as malevolent, no hope for the future, alienation, no sense of identification with others (terminal uniqueness) difficulty returning to normal life, and lack of attachments/broken attachments. Another pertinent symptom for our discussion is hyper-vigilance; the subject is easily startled, feels constantly on edge, experiences sleep problems, and can become aggressive in both thought and deed.

For example, as I was working on this chapter I watched an episode of the popular television series Versailles (S1, episode 5) in which Philippe I, brother of Louis XIV, after his service in the army displays a number of classic PTSD symptoms. He exhibits erratic behavior throughout the episode, particularly as he feels that his brother did not appreciate the sacrifices he and his men made in the war. Toward the end of the episode Philippe suffers from aural and visual flashbacks of battle sparked by a firework display. Louis remarks: ‘The war still rages in you’ to which his brother replies: ‘It will never cease’ before walking away in anger.

For a close analysis of the scene, see Hesk (2003: 74–95). For examples of the view that Ajax has genuinely changed his mind, see Webster (1969: 96–97) and Davidson (forthcoming, 2018).

The debate is a long-standing one; Jebb as far back as 1896 observed that the hero’s monologue ‘has divided the opinions of critics’ (xxxiii). In his view, Ajax ‘deliberately deceives his hearers (1896: xxxv). In contrast, Stanford argued that Ajax changes his mind, but acknowledged that this scene is problematic, especially the hero’s ‘ultimate intentions’ (1963: xxxvi). Garvie in his commentary on the second episode (646–92) weighed scholarly opinion and concluded that Ajax has not changed his mind but is forced by circumstances to act like the men he despises (1998: 184–86). Finglass agreed that despite his eloquence Ajax never changes his course (2011: 328–29). Hesk drew attention to how easy it is to simply ‘hear what we want to hear’ (2003: 95) and believes that the scene exemplifies the failure of human communication.

Acknowledgments
This chapter is dedicated to the memory of my paternal grandfather who fought in World War II, but never felt able to share his experiences. I owe a debt of gratitude to several colleagues for their help, my co-editor Ricardo Apostol, and the Humanities staff at Roehampton University, who invited me to present a first draft of this work in their seminar series, especially Susan Deacy, Mike Edwards, and Marta Garcia Morcillo. I was also privileged to present this paper at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro for the Program of Studies in the Representation of Antiquity (PROAERA). Many thanks are due to the colleagues and students who attended my presentation and contributed to the lively discussion, in particular my fellow Hellenists Henrique F. Cairus, Beatriz de Paoli, and Tatiana Ribeiro. As always, many thanks are due to the wonderful staff of the Library of the Institute of Classical Studies, University of London.
