Everytime an Ajax showed up in the Iliad, this was all I could think about

I love how the fandom for EPIC whenever they make animatics all unanimously agree on stuff.

Like how Odysseus is shorter than every single God/Godesses or literally every single other person he meets or talks to.

Or like how certain characters are drawn. Take Little Ajax for example! Almost every single artist I’ve seen portrays him like hes this kid who just came into this war willingly for like fun or something-

EXAMPLES:

@gigizetz (The smol bean is Ajax and the Archer is Teucer.) And the smile that Teucer give him is giving off sibling vibes-

@Rochi on YT (Teucer doesn’t even look concerned- his face just reads ‘come on now, this again?’)

@Sasha’s Work on YT (I’m that this one is just inserted OC’S but come on! That smol bean!)

But when I see comments on YT and stuff. They talk about how Lil Ajax, Ajax the Lesser, who is this apparent buff ass man who is like feared by some. (Am I correct?)

But let’s be honest, Lil Ajax will always be a Lil smol bean to the fandom

Odysseus: ... and little Ajax will stay back.

Ajax the Lesser, full-grown adult: .......... Excuse me???

One thing I'm fucking sick in the epic fandom is that little Ajax is after shown as a kid

He wasn't a kid he was simply called that cause his brother Ajax the greater was simply a huge meat wall of a human

Little Ajax also known as Ajax the lesser was only called that cause his brother was humongous

He was a great warrior but compared to his brother he just didn't seem as impressive

To add to that he wasn't even that short he was about average height but Ajax the greater was a giant

Edit: I would like to apologise for I have made a goof and have been made aware of it they weren't brothers they just had the same names (tbh it'd be pretty fucked if they were brothers with the same name) and they were only compared because they had the same name but my point still stands

I hate Ajax the Lesser, but it is hilarious how he got smited by so many gods so many times, only to ultimately brag that no god seems able to smite him, and then getting smited by a god for saying it.

Small Ajax: Time sensitive question how flirt girl. Agamemnon: Throw rocks at her. Odysseus: Hot Dogs. Achilles: Kill her. Ajax: Thanks guys

Do you think that after Telamonian Ajax's death Lokrian Ajax became "Ajax the greater by default" or did the Achaeans keep referring to him as Ajax the lesser just cause?
