Achilles dragging the body of Hector around Troy. In Greek mythology, Achilles was a Greek hero of the Trojan War, the central character and the greatest warrior of Homer's Iliad. Legends state that Achilles was invulnerable in all of his body except for his heel. He died because of a small wound on his heel, thus the term Achilles' heel has come to mean a person's principal weakness. Hector was a Trojan prince and the greatest fighter for Troy.
