Why has the history of Trojan War fascinated so many people sure it is supported by the facts?
Well to me it was all about the Trojan Horse, this is when Achilles men fled and the left a big wooden horse and Achilles and about 20 other soldiers hid inside so the king hauled it into the city as a victory prize, but at night the soldiers snuck out and opened the gates to let the entire army into the city then the war had ended as Troy was burned to the ground.
What does the name Achilles mean?
Because Achilles was a mortal, he had no existing Roman counterpart. As such, they would have simply called him Achilles. It's important to note that most Romans knew Greek as it was the language of trade and commerce.
What is the origin of the idiom Achilles' heel?
According to legend, when the mythical Greek hero Achilles was a baby his mother dipped him in the waters of the River Styx. This made him invulnerable to all weapons, except at the spot where she held him on the heel. Achilles went on to be the greatest hero and champion of the Greeks during the Trojan War. However after many victories he was shot by an arrow on the heel, and died of his wound.Therefore an "Achilles Heel" is a weak spot that can ruin the success of the best of efforts.
