Achille's most notable feat during the Trojan War was the slaying of the Trojan Hero Hector outside the gates of troy. Althougt the death of Achilles is not presented in the lliad, the sources concur that he was killed near the end of the Trojan War by Paris (the brother of Hector),who shot him in the heel whith and arrow.Later legends state that Achilles was invulnerable in all of his body except for his heel.Because of his death from a small wound in the heel, the term Achille's heel has come to mean a person's point of weakness.
