One account of Achilles' death involves the deception of Achille's lover, Polyxema, as she lures Achilles to a secret rendez-vous as a ruse to set him up for a fatal ambush by the Trojan prince Paris. The poisoned arrow of Paris is said to have been guided by Apollo to strike Achilles' vulnerable heel, the only part of his body capable of injury.

This is because the legend said that his mother dipped him in the river Styx, which made him immortal, but she held his heel, and that was his only mortal spot.
