He sounds arrogant in his advocacy of the value of his parentage before men of less high birth then himself. Ulysses cites his mission to Priam to make peace, through his persuasive skills, as one reason he ought to have the armor, and his good counsel during the war. He appeals to the battle-weary mindset of his audience, which has seen many years of conflict and has just lost its best warrior, rather than appeals with the military rhetoric that is only likely to inspire men who have never seen military battle, or who are fresh and eager to fight because they are sure of victory.

Thus, he implies a final connection between himself and the slain Achilles -- both were reluctant warriors. However, one cannot help but ask -- of course, Ulysses reasoned appeal is far more persuasive than Ajax's saber rattling and nasty, sneering and unsubstantiated accusations of cowardice, combined with his self-aggrandizing tone -- but why does Ulysses want the spoils of battle so much, a battle he claims to despise? Ajax's despair over not being accorded the armor of Achilles is certain, but what is less certain is why Ulysses even lays claim to the armor if, as he states, such trappings and honors of battle really mean so little to him? Given the choice between Ajax and Ulysses, the choice of Ulysses as the more worthy warrior is clear, but perhaps the best measure to have taken would have been to have given it to neither, or to have awarded it to the first man to establish a peaceful settlement with the Trojans after the war was ended.
