Question

In mythology, Achilles was killed by an arrow in which part of the body?

Answer 1

In Greek mythology, Achilles was killed by an arrow to the heel. The story goes that Achilles' mother, Thetis, had dipped him in the river Styx when he was an infant, making him invulnerable everywhere but the heel by which she held him. As an adult, Achilles was killed by an arrow shot by Paris, the prince of Troy, which struck him in the heel and caused him to die from the wound.

Answer 2

Achilles was shot in his heel by an arrow during the Trojan War. This was his only vulnerable spot as he was otherwise invulnerable. The wound was fatal and led to his death.
