His invincibility
Achilles' invincibility is the reason for his fame in Greek mythology. Although he was renowned for his invulnerability, the Greek hero was vulnerable to attack. His greatest weakness was his heel. He was not usually hurt by sword-fights but was more susceptible to being struck by arrows. His invulnerability was also controversial. However, Apollo saw his vulnerability and decided to target him. The arrow intended to kill Apollo ended in his heel.
