Scholarly analysis of the choral discourse referred to the rumor that weighs on Ajax allows to elucidate two dimensions of the hearsay: a) a human one, sensorial and morally characterizable, which leads to describe the Achaeans who carry the rumor as enemies, and the hero as great-hearted but isolated; and b) a divine one, which exhibits both the gods’ superiority and Ajax’s retreat before the insults that weigh on him. Additionally, the analysis of the omissions and polarizations of the choral discourse reveals the aggrandizement of Ajax’s portrait, not only by praises to him, but also by the minimization of his enemies and even the sailors who make up the chorus. La Párodos de Áyax de Sófocles puede ser leída como un epinicio que construye la figura del protagonista como héroe épico y de culto. El análisis filológico del discurso coral, referido al rumor que pesa sobre Áyax, permite dilucidar dos dimensiones de las habladurías: a) una humana, sensorial y moralmente caracterizable, que lleva a calificar como enemigos a los aqueos portadores del rumor, y como magnánimo pero aislado al héroe; y b) una divina, que exhibe la superioridad de los dioses y el retiro de Áyax ante las injurias que pesan sobre él. Asimismo, el análisis de las omisiones y polarizaciones del discurso coral revela el engrandecimiento de la figura de Áyax, no solo mediante los elogios a su persona, sino también a través de la minimización de sus enemigos y de los propios marineros que conforman el coro.
