The Original Achilles
Achilles was originally a character in Homer's The Illiad.

When he was a small child his mother dipped him in the River Styx so he would be invincible. But, she held him by his heel and it did not get covered.

Many people ask why she didn't dip his heel in afterwards, but it is speculated that she was only allowed to dip him in once.

The fact that his heel was vulnerable is the origin of the phrase "Acchilles Heel". It is usually used to refer to one's greatest weakness.

In the end, Achilles gets shot in his heel and ends up dying.
