Achilles is based off of a greek mythology. The goddness, Thetis, fell in love with the mortal, Peleus. They had their son, Achilles. Thetis wanted Achilles to be immortal like she was, so she dipped him in the River Styx. Anything that touched the water became indestructible. Thetis dipped Achilles in the river without even noticing that Achilles's heel did not touch the river! Achilles grew up and was the best warrior in the land.The Trojan War then started,with Achilles on the side of the greeks. Achilles refused to fight because he was mad at the leader of the Greek army, Agamemnon. But when his best friend died, he joined the battle. Lots of arrows were shot at him, but they had no effect at all. BUT one arrow hit him in the HEEL-the part of his body that didn't touch the river. Achilles died. The end. (The origin)
