1. Achilles
Achilles, the greatest warrior of the Greek army during the Trojan War, was renowned for his near invincibility. According to Homer’s *Iliad*, his mother, Thetis, dipped him in the River Styx, rendering him impervious to harm except for his heel, which led to the term “Achilles’ heel” denoting a singular vulnerability. His legend has been compared to other mythological figures, such as Hercules, and has been interpreted in various historical contexts. (britannica.com)
