Synopsis "Ajax Iliad"

Ajax is one of the most successful football clubs in Holland. However, Ajax is an unusual name of choice for a football club when we think its roots are based on the great epic, Iliad of Homer. Inspired by the name and having grown up in the land of Troy, I paid my tribute to Homer and wrote a short, modern version of the Iliad. For that, I had to go through the old books and ancient scripts instead of depending only on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey as reference: Aethiopis attributed to Arctinus of Miletus (7-8th century B.C.), Ajax by Sophocles (5th century B.C.), Achilleid by the Roman poet Publius Papinius Statius (1st century AD), The Fall of Troy by Quintus Smyrnaeus (4th Century AD). Once I collected and brought all the major events together, I made a summary and blended it into a modern tale about a young Dutch football player named Ajax and a football tournament between the Greeks and the Trojans after their mascot Helen the cow was abducted.
