Proteus, an early sea-god, advised Peleus to find the sea nymph when she was asleep and bind her tightly to keep her from escaping by changing forms. She did shift shapes, becoming flame, water, a raging lioness, and a serpent. Peleus held fast. Subdued, she then consented to marry him. Thetis is the mother of Achilles by Peleus, who became king of the Myrmidons.

Only Achilles picked up the golden sword that lay to one side, and Odysseus quickly revealed him to be male.

Why is Achilles famous?
His name actually means no lips.The story is:His mother, Thetis, was of divine descent, and knew some sorcery. In order to make her son invulnerable she tried to burn him slightly. This would burn off the human, vulnerable, side of him, and leave the divine, invulnerable, side of him. However she accidentally burned off his lips, and had to reverse the procedure. Before she could do this Peleus, father of Achilles, found out what had happened and gave the boy this name.Since the burning procedure had failed Thetis did the well-known thing and dipped the boy in water from the river Styx. Doing this she held him by one heel and that tendon was later named after Achilles.
