A more likely anatomical basis for Achilles's death, assuming an unpoisoned dart, would have been an injury to his [[posterior tibial artery]] behind the [[medial malleolus]], in between the tendons of the flexor digitorum longus and the posterior tibial vein. This area could also have been included in [[Thetis]]'s grip. | A more likely anatomical basis for Achilles's death, assuming an unpoisoned dart, would have been an injury to his [[posterior tibial artery]] behind the [[medial malleolus]], in between the tendons of the flexor digitorum longus and the posterior tibial vein.
