Achilles was the son of the mortal Peleus and the nymph Thetis. Thetis tried to make her son immortal by dipping him into the River Styx, while holding him by his ankle.

Achilles was the son of king Peleus of Thessaly and the sea nymph THETIS.

There is a story behind his birth - ZEUS and POSEIDON wanted to have a son by the beautiful Thetis, but PROMETHEUS, the fire god, warned them that her offspring would be greater than his father. To avoid this god carefully arranged the marriage of Thetis to a mortal. But Thetis tried to make him immortal by various means. She dipped the new-born baby in the Styx, the river that ran through HADES, the world of the dead. Sinc e Thetis had to hold him by the heel, this one spot was left vulnerable and at Troy brought about Achilles death from a poisoned arrow shot from the bow of PARIS.
