In Greek mythology, when Achilles was a baby, it was foretold that he would die young. To prevent his death, his mother Thetis took Achilles to the River Styx, which was supposed to offer powers of invulnerability, and dipped his body into the water; however, as Thetis held Achilles by the heel, his heel was not washed over by the water of the magical river. Achilles grew up to be a man of war who survived many great battles.

在希腊神话中，当阿喀琉斯还是个婴儿的时候，人们就预言他会英年早逝。为了阻止阿基里斯的死亡，他的母亲西提斯把阿基里斯带到冥河，这条河据说可以提供刀枪不入的能力，并把他的身体浸入水中; 然而，当西提斯抓住阿基里斯的脚后跟时，他的脚后跟并没有被魔法河的水冲洗过。阿基里斯长大后成为一个战士，在许多伟大的战役中幸存下来。

Classical myths attribute Achilles’s invulnerability to his mother Thetis having treated him with ambrosia and burned away his mortality in the hearth fire except on the heel, by which she held him. Peleus, his father, discovered the treatment and was alarmed to see Thetis holding the baby in the flames, which offended her and made her leave the treatment incomplete. According to a myth arising later, his mother had dipped the infant Achilles in the river Styx, holding onto him by his heel, and he became invulnerable where the waters touched him—that is, everywhere except the areas of his heel that were covered by her thumb and forefinger.
