| Sumario: | The central place of madness in tragedy has contributed to value the significance of this genre for establishing a disease representation that underlines above all the marginality of the hero. In this sense, Sophoclean Ajax is relevant due to the double form of the nosos in this drama. Not only there is a prominence of nosological vocabulary there, but the ‘healing’ of the madness only gives way in Ajax to a new form of insanity, in many ways indistinguishable from the old one. Considering this complexity, the aim of this paper is to analyze the linguistic resources and the aspects of the performative development that dim the limits of the disease forms in Ajax, in order to show that it is possible to summarize the marginal condition of the Sophoclean hero in the claim that he is in essence ‘his’ illness. |
