Who knows? I doubt it, considering there were weird gods in it. There are many myths about it and here is how the main one goes: A goddess once had a son. Poesideon, the water god offered him invincibility. All the mom had to do was throw her baby into the waters and he would. She doubted though, and dipped him in by his ankle(achillies tendon). Thus, it was impossible for him to be wounded in any way except for his ankle. One day is war he was shot there and died. That is supposedly why our achillies tendon is called that. Hope that helped!
