What background is Achilles?
Achilles was a Greek hero who fought in the Trojan War against Troy and her allies. Achilles' mother was the nymph, Thetis, and his father, Peleus was the king of the Myrmidons. It is often thought because of his superior fighting skill and invulnerability that he was actually the son of Zeus, making him a demigod, half mortal, half god. Achilles' real secret happened at birth. Achilles mother, Thetis had dipped him in the river of Styx in the underworld. Being in the river of Styx was often dangerous, If one were to stay in the river too long he would forget their whole entire lives within minuets. However, if someone were to be dipped in then taken out, wherever the water touched the person would be almost invincible in battle. There was one slight mistake when Thetis dipped Achilles in the river though, she held him by his heel while submerging the rest of his body in the river, meaning the water didn't affect his heel. Once Achilles was a full grown Greek solider, he was virtually unstoppable. He had fought and won many battles thanks to the blessing of Styx. Agamemnon, the High King of Greece had kidnapped a Trojan woman named Chryseis as his slave. Her father Calchas, a priest of Apollo, begged Agamemnon to return her to him. Agamemnon refused and Apollo sent a deadly plague amongst the Greeks. The prophet Calchas, determined the source of the troubles but would not speak unless Achilles vowed to protect him. Achilles did so and Calchas, of course declared that Chryseis must be returned to her father. Agamemnon did as he was told, but then commanded that Achilles' battle prize Briseis be brought to replace Chryseis. Angry at the dishonor of having his slave and glory taken away (He later mentions that he loves Briseis, his own slave). With the urging of his mother Thetis, Achilles refused to fight or lead his troops alongside the other Greek forces. At this same time, burning with rage over Agamemnon's theft, Achilles prayed to Thetis to convince Zeus to help the Trojans gain ground in the war, so that he may regain his honor. Zeus answered his prayers and the Trojan forces pushed the Greeks back to the beaches and started setting their ships ablaze. However, Achilles had still refused to do battle. Even after Agamemnon had sent three chieftains, Odysseus, Phoenix, and Ajax to offer him back Briseis and other gifts. As the Trojans started slaughtering the Greeks, Patroclus, took the armor of Achilles without Achilles or anyone else knowing and led the Myrmidons into battle. He pushed back the Trojans almost all the way to the city's walls, he would have attacked Troy if he had not been killed by Hector. Enraged over the death of Patroclus, Achilles ended his refusal to fight and took to the battlefield killing many men in his rage but the whole time he was only seeking out Hector. Achilles even engaged in battle with the river god Scamadar who became angry that Achilles was damming his waters with all the men he killed. The god tried to drown Achilles but was restrained by Hera and Hephaestus. Zeus himself took note of Achilles' rage and sent the gods to restrain him so that he would not go on to sack Troy itself, seeming to show that the unhindered rage of Achilles could defy fate itself because Troy was not destined to be destroyed just yet. As Achilles began to sack Troy Paris, still being in the city had shot an arrow at Achilles, which struck him directly in his heel, the only part of his whole body that could be compromised. It was at that moment when the great Achilles fell in battle.
