From the Iliad (Ilias), great epic poem written by Homer (Homeros). Achilles (Akhilleus) was an ancient Greek hero who attacked against Troy (Ilion/Troia) with the Greek Peloponnesian army of Agamemnon and Menelaus (Menelaos). In the myth Achilles was immortal since his mother dipped him into a water which made him invulnerable, only his heel didn't touch the water since his mother was holding him from the heel. That's why Achilles was invincible warrior who won everybody in the battle, including Troy's greatest hero and defender Hector (Hektor). Finally Paris, a prince of Troy shoot an arrow (guided by god Apollo) to the heel of Achilles, and the great hero of Greece died. That's the myth which brought the Achilles heel proverb into a modern use.
