Read this passage from a famous myth about Achilles. Achilles was the son of Peleus and Thetis: Peleus was a king in Greece, and Thetis was a nymph. When Achilles was still a little baby, his mother tried to protect him from harm by dipping him into a river that had special magic water. And it worked; he could not be harmed, except for one heel that his mother held him by as she dipped him in the water. Now when someone is very strong but has one weak spot, we call that their "Achilles' heel."
