No, you should never feel obligated to tolerate abuse. If the abuser kills himself it's probably because he thought it would be another way to control you. There is a possibility that he didn't really expect to die in the process but figured he could force you to do something that you didn't want to do. Never accept the guilt trip that those type put on you. If someone is abusive, leave. It can be dangerous. Counselors in prisons will tell you that people who don't value their own life certainly have little regard for other lives either. If the abuser was willing to take his own life, your life was in danger and it was a good idea to get out of there. Abusive people are already psychologically damaged so they probably would have committed suicide with or without you having ever met him. Don't beat yourself up over this because you obviously tried your best, but no one expects another to be the victim of abuse. Abusive people have every chance to seek help and unfortunately this man didn't feel the need for it. If ANYONE accuses you of being the cause simply say, "Until you have walked in my shoes, don't judge!" Walk away, get away from such people. You have nothing to apologize or redeem yourself over.
Absolutely, the Achilles is only the main injury or the most serious injury, but you also got lots of other tendon and muscle tears and pulls all over the foot and ankle area when your Achilles went out. If the Achilles is damaged, it will probably swell at times and that is bound to cause discomfort to the area including the peroneal tendon.
What should an abuse victim do if they cannot convince their abuser to get help?
I do understand how you are feeling because I was in an abusive marriage at one time. It started out as verbal abuse, then got physical. It took me 3 1/2 years to shake my head and realize I did nothing wrong and it was time to leave. We are in control of our own destiny and if we want freedom bad enough we can most certainly attain it. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR HIS ACTIONS! At any given time you can go to a friends place and call an "Abused Women's Center" or Mental Health and they will get you some help, and never look back. YOU CAN have freedom from this jerk, but first, you have to learn that YOU DON'T DESERVE THE WAY YOU ARE BEING TREATED! You did nothing wrong. Even if a wife nagged, cheated, etc., the husband has the same freedom to leave her and no right to stay in the relationship and make her pay for it (not accusing you here of being any of those things.) Abusers get a rush from control. They can't control society or the environment out in society, but they can sure control things at home behind closed doors. Abusers brain-wash their victims by stripping them of their dignity and self-confidence. No matter how hard the victim tries to please the abuser it's never good enough because the abuser actually self-loaths themselves, but they are like a run-away locomotive. They hate what they have become, try to spout off from greased lips that they are in the right, but every fiber of their body tells them they are wrong and it makes them angry. In most cases abusers do come from the environment surrounding them when they were growing up, or it could have been an incident like a controlling boss or previous wife. Every so often you get a guy that is just plain mean to the bone. Abusers can appear shy, quiet, loud, obnoxious, narcissistic, fat, thin, tall, short and from any walk of life and any color of skin. Get mad not even! Make a plan, pack a few things that you feel you need (personal pictures, some clothing, etc.) and get out of there. Abusers NEVER CHANGE! You can't force anyone for any reason to get help. Abuser don't want help because they think they are in the right and everyone else is wrong. There is a bright future for you out there and freedom! It may take you some time to get use to being on your own and you may be fearful (I was) but after a few months you feel like a caged bird set free. A few years after I left my abusive husband I was introduced to a wonderful man and will be married 34 years this August. There is so much out there for you and I sure hope you reach for the stars! If I can do it anyone can do it. Good luck hon Marcy

Who is the dancing girl in movie troy?
I'm not sure as I thought there were two dancing girl scenes; one with Achilies in his tent and one in the palace. Siri Svegler played a character named "Polydora" that I think was the girl who stayed with Achiles (Brad Pitt) and danced for him.

Who knew about Achilles' weak spot?
In the Illiad it is Apollo who guides Paris's arrow to Achilles heel.
From Atlantis01: His mother and the rest of the Gods, including Charon, the ferryman on the river styx
From Tejones: Achilles is not killed in the Iliad. His death takes place at the end of the Aethiopis. The significance of the "weak spot" is arguable, and the origin of the story appears to be late. Homer knows nothing about it. Moreover, since Achilles was a mortal fated to be killed by the archer god, the entry point of the arrow is, at least, a secondary issue.

Why do abuse victims seek approval from the abuser and does the abuser use this as a power play?
The abuser is always about control and as he/she leads his/her victim into his/her web of deceit and uncertainty he/she brain-washes his/her victim. To control her/his he/she must make her/his believe (through crafty brain-washing) that she/he is useless, can't get through life without him, is possibly ugly, too fat or too thin, a rotten mother/father, a rotten cook, can't do anything right and just plain dumb! Of course this is not true about most women/men, but if any of us were to hear this enough times in years to come we would certainly begin to believe it. After all, the abuser controls the victim's whole life so many victims have the freedom to interact with friends or sometimes even their families and she/he has no one to talk too. Either that, or she/he is too embarrassed to talk about it and fears no one would believe her. The victim has nowhere to go, and she/he believes her/his abuser and is fearful of him, so she/he complies the best way she/he can to be ALL things to him and try to please him in any way possible, and that NEVER happens. No matter how hard she/he tries he/she will never be happy with what she/he says or does. He/she doesn't want too! The only way a victim can be free and begin to gain their self respect, dignity and stand on their own two feet is if they have the strength to seek help from an abuse center where she/he will get counseling, and also sent onto a Transition House or "Safe House" to be protected from her/his abuser. She/he will be given legal counsel to go to court (especially if there are children involved) and she/he must take the programs offered to her/his so she/he will not go back to her/his abuser or pick another abusive mate. We are all under the illusion that why would a woman/man that has been mentally/physically abused ever go back to an abuser or pick another abusive partner, but the truth is, unless the victim knows where to go for help she/he is wading up to her/his neck (a feeling of drowning) because she/he has had all her/his self confidence stripped from her. She/he doesn't feel she/he can handle living on her/his own and often thinks no one would want to hire her. Perhaps she/he has no prior working experience or hasn't worked for a long time, because abusers like their victims close by and try to strip them of all their freedom. Abusers are actually very weak and spineless wonders. They have come from an environment (growing up in an abusive family) or they have become abusive during their adult life from some experience such as losing a job, a woman/man jilting him previously, etc. Some men are plain mean to the bone and have no real excuse. They are to be pitied because they will never have a good relationship because they seldom seek psychiatric help for their problem because they have the attitude they are just fine and everyone else is at fault. Abusers are spineless wonders because they would rather pick on the weak such as, children, elderly, pets, or those mentally or physically unable, but would never stand up for themselves confronted by a person capable to protect herself/hisself. Remember hon, you are in control of your destiny and NO ONE can make you do anything unless you let them. Marcy
Why was Athens not A full democracy?
The radical Democracy of Athens was "full," but it was not any good, and in fact it became one of the ancient world's silliest, most chaotic tyrannies. During the Democracy, all Athenian citizens were expected to take part in day-to-day government and even to hold office, but relatively few Athenians were actually citizens, only the adult males of certain idle classes. The Athenian merchants were barred from citizenship ostensibly on the grounds that their connection to foreign sources made their patriotism suspect; Athenian women, essentially the house-bound property of the senior male member of their family, were considered incapable of citizenship; immigrants and resident aliens, called metics, had some civil rights, but were not considered citizens; and slaves of course, were not considered at all. Based on his experience of it, Plato considered the Athenian Democracy to be the worst form of government possible.
