Achilles heel
Named after the Greek hero Achilles.
When he was a small child,
his mother held him below the surface of the river Styx
to protect him against any injury.
She held him by his heel,
which therefore was not touched by the water.
Achilles died after being wounded by an arrow in the heel.
