Achilles

Achilles is a Greek hero and the protagonist of The Iliad.

Born a demigod, Achilles fought the Trojan War on the side of the Achaeans.

Due to his being dunked in the River Styx, his body was invulnerable, except for one of his heels.

He later had a falling out with Agamemnon, though the two were later reconciled by Odysseus. During the course of the war he did battle with the Trojan prince Hector, killing him. After his battle with Hector, his brother Paris shot him with a poison arrow, killing him.

His name inspired terms and phrases as Achilles’ heel and Achilles tendon.
