Yes, Achilles' mother, Thetis, tried to protect him from his destined fate in the Trojan War.

Before going to war with Troy, the Greeks sought to retrieve Helen, the wife of Menelaus, who had been abducted by Paris, a prince of Troy. They initially attempted to resolve the issue diplomatically by sending envoys to demand Helen's return. However, when negotiations failed, they united under the leadership of Agamemnon and prepared for war, forming a massive coalition of Greek city-states to launch an expedition against Troy. This conflict ultimately led to the legendary Trojan War, marked by heroism and tragedy.
