Achilles - was said to have been dipped in the river styx (which formed the boundary between Earth and the Underworld) by his mother and this made him invulnerable. However when she dipped him she held him by his heel and this bit of him was not protected.

Thus he was killed in the battle for Troy by Paris, who shot an an arrow into his heel. Thus an "Achilles' heel" has come to be a term for a person's principal weakness.
