Achilles' parents were Peleus and Thetis. Peleus was a mortal king of the Myrmidons and a notable warrior, while Thetis was a sea nymph and one of the Nereids, known for her beauty and divine nature. The union of a mortal and a goddess produced Achilles, who was destined for greatness in battle and was central to the events of the Trojan War. Thetis is also known for her efforts to protect her son, including attempting to make him invulnerable.
