A vulnerable spot in the body, is the back of the heel, now called the Achilles tendon. This is because Achilles bathed in the river Styx as a baby, and was made invulnerable to pain except in one spot, the back of his heel. When Achilles grew up he became a soldier, and fought for a Greek army, (I think it was Sparta but could be Athens) he became one of the most legendary soldiers in all of Greece, until one day when surrounded by the opposing army. One archer shot an arrow right in the back of his heel, which is why it is now called the Achilles tendon.
