ACHILLE: king of the Myrmidons; son of Peleus. Soldier in the Trojan Wars, best know for his weak ankle.

Achilles killed Hector and was fatally wounded by Hector’s younger brother, Paris (or, according to another version of the story, by Apollo who assumed Paris’ shape). Hero of The Iliad. (Homer)
