A Correct answer
Explanation

In Greek mythology, Thetis was a sea nymph and the mother of Achilles. She dipped Achilles in the River Styx to make him invulnerable, holding him by his heel - which became his famous weakness. Peleus was Achilles's mortal father, not his mother. Cyrus and Apollo have no relation to Achilles's parentage.
