Odysseus The Rebel, by Steven Grant and Scott Bieser - Big Head Press, publishing Thoughtful Stories since 2002

Interior of Ajax’ tent. Ajax is sitting alone in his underwear, looks up startled to see them.
AJAX
High king…
AGAMEMNON
Don’t get up, Ajax. I just need to see that sword, the one you traded to Hector for…

AJAX
(finding sword)
It wasn’t a trade, we gave each other gifts out of respect when our first duel ended in a draw.
AGAMEMNON
Right, right.
(takes sword, examines it)
See, Odysseus? Wasn’t I right about the craftsmanship?
(leans in close to surprised Ajax)
And this is why Odysseus inherits Achilles’ armor.
Agamemnon runs Ajax through with the sword, and cups Ajax’s mouth to muffle the scream.
