A late legend has Achilles' goddess-mother dipping him in the River Styx to make him invulnerable, but holding him by the heel, didn't immerse that part. Crafty Paris shot him in the heel with an arrow, and so killed him. The word Achilles heel is used as an expression for someone's vulnerability. The tendon attaching the calf muscle to the heel is now called the Achilles tendon.
