Oilean Ajax, not the other one

I did a little research on Oilean Ajax to help me better separate the two:

Oilean Ajax: son of Oileus who was king of a place called Locris
                     wife was named Eriopis
Oilean Ajax led 40 ships during the Trojan war and fights along the other Ajax in the Iliad (as if it wasn't confusing enough).

Lost to Odysseus in a running race at Patroclus' funeral. Rapes Cassandra and Odysseus wants him to pay. Athena attempts to kills him, but he ends up on an island and Poseidon comes along and finishes the job.
