History

Achilles remains one of the most well-known heroes of Greek mythology. He was a central figure in the Trojan War, as told in Homers Iliad. Celebrated for his strength and skill in battle, he was believed to be invincible except for one weaknesshis heel. This single vulnerability led to the familiar phrase Achilles heel. Legend states that his mother, Thetis, dipped him in the River Styx as a child, leaving only his heel unprotected.
