User blog comment:Deathblade 100/Ancient Greek Strongmen: Heracles vs Ajax the Greater/@comment-3189283-20160220122651

Let's see shall we

Long Range

The Bow would already win out over the Javelin due to it's further range and reusability but the fact that it was made by Apollo, the god known for his extensive usage of the bow and arrow, means that he literally cannot miss a shot.

Edge: Heracles 

Mid Range 

Once again the Javelin is outclassed here. Sure it's being thrown by a demi god with superhuman strength but that still doesn't improve it's accuracy. The Dory is just as inaccurate when thrown but it's desgined as a melee weapon anyway and it's reach allows Ajax to keep Heracles out of the range of his legendary strength.

Edge: Ajax the Greater

Close Range 

Normally I'd side with the a bladed weapon over a blunt trauma one but it this case I'm actually going to give it to the Club. Normally the Xiphos's bladed edge would make it better weapon due to it's greater lethality but the Club not only has the greater reach but it's also being wielded by one of the strongest men in human mythology and will do some serious damage if it connects. Add in Heracles's armour protecting him from pretty much all bladed weapons and you've got a powerful close range option.

Edge: Heracles
