Achilles is a legendary Greek hero who is the main character of Homer's Iliad. He is known to be the greatest warrior of the Trojan War. Achilles' lineage was unique as his father, Peleus, was the mortal King of the Myrmidons, and his mother, Thetis, was an immortal sea nymph.
Achilles' courage reached its peak when he engaged in an epic duel with Hector, a formidable Trojan warrior, outside the gates of Troy. Although the Iliad does not show Achilles' death, many accounts converge on his tragic end near the end of the war. It is believed that Paris, with the help of divine intervention, fatally struck Achilles in his heel, a vulnerability that later legends embellished.
Inspired by these tales, the phrase "Achilles heel" has come to represent a hidden weakness or vulnerable spot, particularly in individuals or entities known for their resilience. (123A)
