the death of ajax

cigar-tin #142
contains the short story "The Death of Ajax"
in the shop
... that Ajax killed himself by jumping onto his own sword, or then tore out his own heart, which burst into flame, while others say the Trojans attacked him as a swarm, en masse, hurling lumps of clay at him, until he was covered completely, and could not move, and was suffocated as it hardened.
