Achilles is a hero in ancient Greek mythology and literature

Achilles is a hero in ancient Greek mythology and literature. He participated in the Trojan War and was called “the First Warrior of Greece”. He was the son of Peleus, king of Thessaly, and Thetis, the sea goddess, about whom Homer writes at length in the Iliad. He has always been known for his courage, beauty, and physical strength. He had great respect for Athena and Hera. According to the tragedy of Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound, and other myths, one of the reasons Prometheus, son of the Titan, was bound by Zeus to the rock of the Caucasus was because Prometheus possessed a secret that would endanger the rule of Zeus. It was not until Prometheus was saved by Hercules and made peace with Zeus that the secret came to light: the son of Thetis, the goddess of the sea, would be far superior to his father. Zeus happened to be pursuing Thetis at that time, and when he learned of the prophecy, he decided to marry Thetis to Peleus, the hero of the earth. The result was a son, Achilles, far more powerful than his father… You can see from the famous roman statue of Achilles that he was very heroic.
