4 WHO WAS ACHILLES? Achilles is the mortal son of Peleus and Nereid (Sea Nymphs) Thetis. In the later version Thetis held Achilles by the heel and dipped him in the river Styx, were everything this sacred water touches becomes invulnerable. The heel was left out therefore is not invulnerable. Thetis attempted to make her son immortal but was not successful. Achilles’ mother anointed him with ambrosia and then placed him upon a fire to burn away mortality. http://www.pantheon.org/articles/a/achilles.html

5 THE TROJAN WAR The Trojan War began by a quarrel by three gods, Hera, Aphrodite and Athena. Another reason that began the war was due to Helen of Sparta leaving her husband, Menelaus, for Paris, youngest sibling of the king of Troy, Priam. Two main reasons of how the war had begun. N. McCarty, Troy, 2004
