Video - The Legend of Achilles' Heel

Did you know that Achilles, the legendary Greek hero of the Trojan War, was invulnerable except for his heel? His mother dipped him in the River Styx as a baby, making him immortal, but she held him by his heel, leaving that spot vulnerable. This weakness ultimately led to his downfall when he was struck in the heel by an arrow, resulting in his death. This is why the term "Achilles' heel" is used to describe a person's vulnerable point or weakness. So, next time you hear someone mention Achilles, remember the story behind his famous Achilles' heel!
