Achilles
Achilles was the son of the mortal Peleus and the Nereid Thetis. He was the mightiest of the Greeks who fought in the Trojan War, and was the hero of Homer's Iliad. When he was a boy it was prophesized that the city of Troy could not be taken without his help, so his mother dunked him into the River Styx so that he could be not be killed. Unfortunately after his friend was killed by Hector while he was in Achilles armor, Achilles was shot in his heel by an arrow and died because this is the area of his body that was left untouched by the Styx River.
