Ajax the Great War perhaps occurred at the height of the Mycenaean civilization (see discussion of Troy VII), roughly the point at which this palace appears to have been abandoned. Ajax the Great Ajax or Aias ( or ; Greek , gen. "Aiantos"; archaic ) is a mythological Greek hero, the son of King Telamon and Periboea, and the half-brother of Teucer. He plays an important role, and is portrayed as a towering figure and a warrior of great courage in Homer's "Iliad" and in the Epic Cycle, a series of epic poems about the Trojan War. He is also referred to as
Greek battleship Salamis the Greek complaints, and he ultimately sided with Vulcan, probably in part due to Greek inquiries to Vulcan earlier that year as to the possibility of modernizing the design. Vulcan's response did not satisfy Greek requirements, so the proposal was dropped. In 1928, with the impending recommissioning of the Turkish battlecruiser "Yavuz" (ex-), Greece considered responding positively to an offer from Vulcan to reach a compromise, one option being to complete and modernize "Salamis". The cost of the ship would be absorbed by the war reparations Germany owed Greece for the years 1928 through 1930 and part of 1931. Admiral
