'classic hero' is the definition.
'ajax' can be an answer for 'hero' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'classic' bit.

(Other definitions for ajax that I've seen before include "Swiftest Greek warrior in the Trojan War who killed himself" , "Cleaner" , "Greek hero of the Trojan war - Dutch football team" , "old privy" , "Son of Telamon, hero of Trojan War" .)
