The story of Achilles is featured in Greek mythology and focuses on his role in the Trojan War. Achilles is a skilled warrior who was invulnerable except for his heel. He is known for his bravery in battle, his close friendship with Patroclus, and his eventual death from a wound to his heel inflicted by Paris.
So the story says.
He is Achilles young cousin and student.
Agamemnon takes away Briseis - Achilles' favourite concubine (sex slave). This is the dispute which starts the story of the Iliad.
Achilles died at Troy when Paris shot him in the heel with an arrow. In some versions of the story, Apollo guides the arrow to Achilles heel. Some versions say the arrow was poisoned. The Iliad ends before Achilles' death.
The Greek prince, Hector, killed Achilles' cousin, Patroclus. Patroclus was fighting in Achilles' armor, so Hector did not realize who he was fighting. Achilles and Patroclus were very close. In some versions of the story they were even lovers. Achilles was grief stricken and decided to enter the fight.

No. Achilles is the man who was killed because he was shot in his weak spot the Achilles. This is his story. When Achilles was a little boy his mother wanted him to become a hero and be invulnerable. So she dipped him in the river styx. She held him by the ankle so the ankle was his weak spot. One day in battle he was shot in the ankle and was killed. That why we call it the Achilles heel of our foot.

It is taken from the story 'the Illiad'. The hero Achilles had been dipped in the sacred river by his mother to make invulnerable to weapon attack; all of him got this power except his heel, which she was holding. So an Achilles heel is the weak spot.
