Why do you refer to something weak as the Achilles heel?
The term "Achilles heel" dates back to old Greek legends, which tell of a hero named Achilles, who's entire body was indestructible, except for a small area on the back of his heel. This made him a feared warrior, as he could not be damaged by weapons, until another warrior named Paris discovered his one weakness, his heel, and shot him in the heel with an arrow. The legend of Achilles is part of "The Iliad" by Homer. "Achilles heel", thus, refers to any specific weakness or vulnerability.
