Answer :
Final answer:
Odysseus won Achilles' armor after Achilles' death, following a contest in which both Odysseus and Ajax argued their case before judges; Ajax's loss led to his tragic end.
Explanation:
After the death of the great Greek hero Achilles, there was a fierce contest to determine who would win his precious armor, which had been forged by the god Hephaestus. The two main contenders for the armor were Ajax and Odysseus. They both gave speeches to a panel of judges to argue why they each deserved the armor. Despite his closeness to Achilles and his heroics on the battlefield, it was not Ajax who won, but Odysseus who was awarded Achilles' armor. The decision led to Ajax's tragic downfall; he went mad, killed livestock thinking they were his enemies, and eventually took his own life out of humiliation.
