ΝΑΡΥΞ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΛΟΚΡΙΔΑ
Ο Αίας, ο γιος του Οιλέως, ήταν αρχηγός των Λοκρών. Σωματικά ήταν πιο μικροκαμωμένος από τον Αίαντα τον Τελαμώνιο αλλά έξοχος μαχητής (Ιλ. Β 527).
Κατά την επιστροφή του από την Τροία έχασε όλα του τα πλοία σε τρικυμία, ενώ ο ίδιος σώθηκε με τη βοήθεια του Ποσειδώνα. Επειδή, όμως, ισχυρίστηκε με υπεροψία πως αυτό έγινε χωρίς τη θέληση των θεών, ο Ποσειδώνας εξοργισμένος από τα λόγια του προκάλεσε ρήγμα στον βράχο, όπου είχε βρει σωτηρία, με αποτέλεσμα να πνιγεί (Οδ. δ 499).
Aiax (Aias, Ajax). Son of Oileus, king of the Locrians, also called the lesser Aiax, sailed against Troy in forty ships. He is described as small of stature, but skilled in throwing the spear, and, next to Achilles, the most swiftfooted among the Greeks. On his return from Troy his vessel was wrecked; he himself safely reached a rock through the assistance of Poseidon; but, as he boasted that he would escape in defiance of the immortals, Poseidon split the rock with his trident, and Aiax was swallowed up by the sea. This is the account of Homer. Others tell us that the anger of Athene was excited against him because on the night of the capture of Troy he violated Cassandra in the temple of the goddess.

Ajax. The son of Oileus, king of the Locrians, who is also called the Lesser Ajax
(Hom. Il. ii. 527). His mother's name was Eriopis. According to Strabo (ix.) his
birthplace was Naryx in Locris, whence Ovid (Met. xiv. 468) calls him Narycius
heros. According to the Iliad (ii. 527, &c.) he led his Locrians in forty ships
(Hygin. Fab. 97, says twenty) against Troy. He is described as one of the great
heroes among the Greeks, and acts frequently in conjunction with the Telamonian
Ajax. He is small of stature and wears a linen cuirass (linothorex), but is brave
and intrepid, especially skilled in throwing the spear, and, next to Achilles,
the most swift-footed among all the Greeks (Il. xiv. 520, &c., xxiii. 789, &c.).
His principal exploits during the siege of Troy are mentioned in the following
passages: xiii. 700, &c., xiv. 520, &c., xvi. 350, xvii. 256, 732, &c. In the
funeral games at the pyre of Patroclus he contended with Odysseus and Antilochus
for the prize in the footrace; but Athena, who was hostile towards him and favoured
Odysseus, made him stumble and fall, so that he gained only the second prize (xxiii.
754, &c.). On his return from Troy his vessel was wrecked on the Whirling Rocks
(Gurai petrai), but he himself escaped upon a rock through the assistance of Poseidon,
and would have been saved in spite of Athena, but he used presumptuous words,
and said that he would escape the dangers of the sea in defiance of the immortals.
Hereupon Poseidon split the rock with his trident, and Ajax was swallowed up by
the sea (Od. iv. 499, &c.).
In later traditions this Ajax is called a son of Oileus and the nymph
Rhene, and is also mentioned among the suitors of Helen (Hygin. Fab. 81, 97; Apollod.
iii. 10.8). According to a tradition in Philostratus (Her. iii. 1), Ajax had a
tame dragon, five cubits in length, which followed him everywhere like a dog.
After the taking of Troy, it is said, he rushed into the temple of Athena, where
Cassandra had taken refuge, and was embracing the statue of the goddess as a suppliant.
Ajax dragged her away with violence and led her to the other captives (Virg. Aen.
ii. 403 ; Eurip. Troad. 70, &c.; Dict. Cret. v. 12; Hygin. Fab. 116). According
to some statements he even violated Cassandra in the temple of the goddess (Tryphiod.
635; Q. Smyrn. xiii. 422 ; Lycophr. 360, with the Schol.); Odysseus at least accused
him of this crime, and Ajax was to be stoned to death, but saved himself by establishing
his innocence by an oath (Paus. x. 26.1, 31.1). The whole charge, is on the other
hand, said to have been an invention of Agamemnon, who wanted to have Cassandra
for himself. But whether true or not, Athena had sufficient reason for being indignant,
as Ajax had dragged a suppliant from her temple. When on his voyage homeward he
came to the Capharean rocks on the coast of Euboea, his ship was wrecked in a
storm, he himself was killed by Athena with a flash of lightning, and his body
was washed upon the rocks, which henceforth were called the rocks of Ajax (Hygin.
Fab. 116; comp. Virg. Aen. i. 40, &c., xi. 260). For a different account of his
death see Philostr. Her. viii. 3, and Schol. ad Lycophr. l. c. After his death
his spirit dwelled in the island of Leuce (Paus. iii. 19.11). The Opuntian Locrians
worshipped Ajax as their national hero, and so great was their faith in him, that
when they drew up their army in battle array, they always left one place open
for him, believing that, although invisible to them, he was fighting for and among
them. The story of Ajax was frequently made use of by ancient poets and artists,
and the hero who appears on some Locrian coins with the helmet, shield, and sword,
is probably Ajax the son of Oileus.

Γονείς του Αίαντα του Λοκρού (Ιλ. Β 527, Π 697, Ο 336). Ο Οϊλεύς ήταν και πατέρας από την παλλακίδα του Ρήνη του Μέδονα (Ιλ. Β 727).
Oileus. The son of Hodoedocus and Laonome, grandson of Cynus, and great-grandson of Opus, was a king of the Locrians, and married to Eriopis, by whom he became the father of Aiax, who is hence called Oilides, Oiliades, and Aiax Oilei. Oileus was also the father of Medon by Rhene. He is mentioned among the Argonauts.

Μενοιτιάδης, δηλαδή γιος του Μενοίτιου (Ιλ. Σ 326 κ.ε.), φίλος του Αχιλλέα, τον οποίο ακολούθησε στην Τροία. Οταν ήταν νέος κατέφυγε στον οίκο του Πηλέα στη Φθία, λόγω του φόνου του γιου του Αμφιδάμαντα (Ιλ. Λ 765 κ.ε., Ψ 87 κ.ε.). Τον σκότωσε ο Εκτορας (Ιλ. Π 818 κ.ε.) και έγιναν επικήδειοι αγώνες προς τιμήν του (Ιλ. Ψ).
(Patroklos) and Patrocles (Patrokles). The penult is almost always long in the Iliad, Patroclus once only in vocative. Son of Menoetius and Sthenele, the bosom friend of Achilles. While still a boy Patroclus involuntarily slew Clysonymus, son of Amphidamas. In consequence of this accident he was taken by his father to Peleus at Phthia, where he was educated together with Achilles. He is said to have taken part in the expedition against Troy on account of his attachment to Achilles. He fought bravely against the Trojans until his friend withdrew from the scene of action, when Patroclus followed his example. But when the Greeks were hard pressed, he begged Achilles to allow him to put on his armour, and with his men to hasten to the assistance of the Greeks. Achilles granted the request, and Patroclus succeeded in driving back the Trojans and extinguishing the fire which was raging among the ships. He slew many enemies, and thrice made an assault upon the walls of Troy; but he was suddenly struck by Apollo, and became senseless. In this state Euphorbus ran him through with his lance from behind, and Hector gave him the last and fatal blow. Hector also took possession of his armour. A long struggle now ensued between the Greeks and Trojans for the body of Patroclus; but the former obtained possession of it, and brought it to Achilles, who was deeply grieved, and vowed to avenge the death of his friend. Thetis protected the body with ambrosia against decomposition until Achilles had leisure solemnly to burn it with funeral sacrifices. His ashes were collected in a golden urn which Dionysus had once given to Thetis, and were deposited under a mound, where the remains of Achilles were subsequently buried. Funeral games were celebrated in his honour. Achilles and Patroclus met again in the lower world; or, according to others, they continued after their death to live together in the island of Leuce.
