Answer:

Greek Hero

Step-by-step explanation:

Achilles (or Achilles) was a Greek Hero of the Trojan War. He was the son of Nereid Thetis and Peleus, king of Phthia.

Achilles's mother Nereid, bathed Achilles in the river Styx when he was a baby, by doing so Achilles gained special powers. But Nereid held him by the ankle. This is why he had the Achilles's spot, because his ankle was the only part of his body that didn't touch the river Styx.
