His mother's name was Eriopis.
According to Strabo, he was born in Naryx in Locris, where Ovid calls him Narycius Heroes.
According to the Iliad, he led his Locrians in forty ships against Troy.
He is described as one of the great heroes among the Greeks.
When the grammatical dual form of Ajax is used in the Iliad, it was once believed that it indicated the lesser Ajax fighting side-by-side with Telamonian Ajax, but now it is generally thought that that usage refers to the Greater Ajax and his brother Teucer.
