Explanation

In Greek mythology, Achilles was invulnerable except for his heel, which was his only weakness - leading to the phrase 'Achilles heel'. His mother Thetis dipped him in the River Styx, holding him by his heel, which remained unprotected. Pelagon, Athena, and Hercules are other Greek mythological figures but not the one associated with this specific vulnerability.
