The hero's name is Achilles and she did this to make him invicible. Sadly I don't remember the mother's name but I know that she is a water nymph. The only part of Achilles that wasn't invincible was his heel that she held him by when she dipped him in the river. This is where whe get the term Achilles's heel.
