We can confirm the Burket' thinking in the Ajax'Sophocles. If we looked at the verses' numbers in the tragedy, we could identify mathematical relationships: Fibonacci numbers build a bridge structure or aba, which is repeating itself until the end of the drama. Aja2 structure has an ABA shape, tripartite and circular, which follows the golden section. The hero's death is the point 9. In the Parthenon, which started to be build when theAjax'Sophocles was probably represented, with the Berger'module -similar of the Bulckens (1999)- we can see geometric figures in the temple' plan that delimit important parts of it and speak of proportions and harmony of a structure of three parts to another of two.
