An Achilles heel is a weakness that leads to your downfall. It comes from Greek mythology where the hero, Achilles, was dipped in the river Styx to protect him from harm. Unfortunately his heels didn't touch the water and he was eventually killed in battle, in the Battle of Troy, by Paris. The Achilles tendon is located on the back of the heel connecting the calf to the foot.
