Achillies
Achilles was one of the many, numerous heroes of the great Trojan War. He has a great story that goes along with his adventures. A man who wrote poems about wars named Homer tells his story in the Iliad. He was a great warrior of the Trojan War because of what his parents did to him when he was young. Because of what his parents did when he was young, he could not be defeated and was a major threat to other enemies, but was a great asset to the country he fought for. Achilles had two parents like most people. His mother was a Nereid named Thetis. She was a sea nymph. Thetis was an immortal nymph. The mortal Peleus fell in love with her, but she avoided him by turning herself into various slippery animals. She turned herself into various slippery animals to try to avoid him because she didn't want to have anything to do with him and she didn't like to be around him. Eventually Peleus caught Thetis. She was very well known for her many inventions. She was well known by both gods and mortals because she made inventions for both the mortals and the gods. An example of her helping gods and mortals is when Hephaestus was cast by Zues from Heaven, and fell into the sea. When hephaestus was cast from Heaven, Thet
His heel was then the only place where he could be killed. When he was young she dipped him in the waters of the infernal river Styx, found in the Underworld. All the gods except for the goddess of Discord, Eris had been invited by Zues to the wedding of Achilles' parents. Aphrodite caused Helen to fall in love with Paris, and when he abducted her and they ran away to Troy, the Greeks launched the Trojan War. Paris' hit his right heel and killed the great hero of the Trojan War, as he died in agony, others watched. Achilles' had a tremendous amount of power. Some believed that for Achilles to remain immortal, Thetis would nightly hold him over the fire to get rid of the mortal elements inherited from Peleus, and that in the daytime she would anoint his body with Ambrosia. The river was supposed to annoit the person who was in it to be immortal. His mother wished to make him completely immortal. No one could stand before the wrath of Achilles. By the time he was done, Achilles had the best qualities of a warrior, with the soul of a poet. They wanted to remove the Greek's so that they could recover the beautiful Helen for the Trojan's. The stunned Trojan survivors hastened back to behind their walls like a bunch of scared rabbits. Apollo had been guiding Paris' hand to help kill Achilles because Apollo wanted to kill Achilles but didn't have a chance to. She married Peleus and their wedding indirectly brought on the Trojan War.
