The Legend of Achilles<br />
• Thetis (Achilles'’ mother)<br />
sought to give him immortality<br />
by bathing him in the river<br />
Styx, whose waters held the<br />
property of making<br />
invulnerable those washed in<br />
it. Unfortunately when she<br />
dipped the child in, she held<br />
him by his heel which,<br />
consequently, was not<br />
immersed. This made him<br />
subsequently vulnerable in his<br />
heel.<br />
