Achilles was the son of the goddess Thetis and mortal Peleus. When he was an infant, Thetis dipped him in the River Styx so that he could be immortal. However, she held him by the heel, where the tendon was- so this was the only part of him that remained immortal, and thus vulnerable.
He grew up to become the bravest hero in the Trojan War, choosing a short life with eternal glory as opposed to a longer life with no heroic status. The central theme of Homer’s The Iliad is based around Achilles’ wrath of Patroclus’ death.
Although Achilles fought in the Trojan War, he was eventually killed by Paris, who shot him with an arrow through the part of his heel which had been untouched by the River Styx.
This is where we get the term ‘Achilles tendon’ from; referring to the tendon that connects the calf muscles with the heel bone, and this is very painful when injured!
The term ‘Achilles heel’ also refers to any weak point someone has, too. For example, Kim Kardashian’s ‘Achilles heel’ would be stardom, at any cost of her dignity.

((ooc: so here’s a thought…))
So you guys know how in ‘Troy’, Odysseus tells Patroclus that he knew his parents?
And then later Priam tells Achilles that he knew Achilles’s father?
ok so obvi Patroclus’s parents knew Achilles’s parents so that means Priam knew them all…
Can you just imagine younger versions of Priam, Achilles’s dad, and Patroclus’s parents being friends and doing all sorts of shenanigans?
No? okay. Well I can lolol.
