I am continuing my stories from the Trojan War today, by telling you about one of the most famous Greek heroes of all time. Achilles was the son of Peleus and Thetis, whose marriage was honored by many of the Olympian gods, and arguably where the Trojan War began.

The River Styx is one of the rivers in the Underworld, and if anyone bathes in it, they will be practically immortal, they cannot be harmed by any weapon, unless the weapon pierces skin that did not enter the water. Thus, the Achilles Heel was born. Soon after, Thetis left Achilles and Peleus to return to the sea, as she was ashamed by what she had done after Peleus expressed his disdain.
