Why is Kathryn's dog's name Ajax?

Why is Kathryn's dog's name Ajax? - Person Holding a Wet Brown Flat Shoe

In Once Upon a Time, every character seems to have a significant name in Storybrooke, they complement their real names. Even Pongo is a reference to 101 Dalmatians, but why is Kathryn's dog's name Ajax?

This seems a bit out of the box or is it some other reference I am missing?



Best Answer

Kathryn's Enchanted Forest counterpart, Abigail, is the daughter of King Midas. Although there is no character named Ajax in the King Midas myth (which is honestly pretty low on detail), Ajax was a character from another Greek myth. In the Iliad, Ajax was a particularly strong and courageous fighter. So, pretty good name for Greek character's dog!
