Hawthorn’s Achilles heel
A heartbroken Thetis, who had been forewarned her son Achilles would die in battle from an arrow in the foot, took him to the River Styx. Thetis, who believed the river offered powers of invincibility, dunked her young son in the water. Instead of totally submersing him, Thetis held him by the foot, which remained untouched by the waters of the Styx. Achilles became a great warrior, untouched in many historic battles. During his last battle, a poisonous arrow hit him in the heel and he died hours later.
– Legend from Greek Mythology
