Achillies

Achilles was one of the many, numerous heroes of the great Trojan War. He has a great story that goes along with his adventures. A man who wrote poems about wars named Homer tells his story in the Iliad. He was a great warrior of the Trojan War because of what his parents did to him when he was young. Because of what his parents did when he was young, he could not be defeated and was a major threat to other enemies, but was a great asset to the country he fought for.

Achilles had two parents like most people. His mother was a Nereid named Thetis. She was a sea nymph. Thetis was an immortal nymph. The mortal Peleus fell in love with her, but she avoided him by turning herself into various slippery animals. She turned herself into various slippery animals to try to avoid him because she didn't want to have anything to do with him and she didn't like to be around him. Eventually Peleus caught Thetis. She was very well known for her many inventions. She was well known by both gods and mortals because she made inventions for both the mortals and the gods. An example of her helping gods and mortals is when Hephaestus was cast by Zues from Heaven, and fell into the sea. When hephaestus was cast from Heaven, Thet


Towards the end of the war, Achilles was eventually tragically killed. Apollo had been guiding Paris' hand to help kill Achilles because Apollo wanted to kill Achilles but didn't have a chance to. Eventually, Paris' had finally hit Achilles in his only invulnerable spot. His only invulnerable spot, the only mortal spot on his body was hit after his long reign as a great Greek warrior. Paris' hit his right heel and killed the great hero of the Trojan War, as he died in agony, others watched. The Greeks were saddened because they had lost the greatest warrior of all time and they were afraid they would soon die now. Some say it was Apollo himself disguised as Paris, but most say it was just Apollo telling Paris what to do. Soon after, the Greeks won the Trojan War by using the Trojan Horse to sneak their warriors into the city. Odesseus came up with the idea to kill all the Trojans by sticking a bunch of the Greeks in a horse and getting inside the city to eventually kill all the Trojans at night when they were asleep.

When he was nine years old the prophet Calchas declared that Troy would never be taken without the help of Achilles. This proves how great of a warrior that Achilles was in his time. To be the only person that can make a city be destroyed means you must be a very good warrior and very brave.

No one could stand before the wrath of Achilles. At the sight of him the Trojans broke rank and scattered, dividing into two bodies. The Trojans ran because they knew how much of a great warrior he was and didn't even be around him because they were too afraid. Achilles drove one part across the plain towards the city of Troy and penned the other in a bend of a scorching flame. The stunned Trojan survivors hastened back to behind their walls like a bunch of scared rabbits. They couldn't do anything because they did not have enough faith or guts to do anything.

All the gods except for the goddess of Discord, Eris had been invited by Zues to the w
