Where was Achilles shot?
He was shot in the heel of his foot - the only part of him that wasn't dipped in the river Styx. It was the only vulnerable part of his body.
According to legend how did Achilles die?
Achilles died when his enemy shot a poisoned arrow into his heel. Achilles' heel was the only part of his body that was vulnerable; as a baby, he had been dipped into the River Styx by his mother, who held onto him by his ankle. Achilles' immersion made him impervious to harm, but because his ankle did not contact the river, it remained mortal and vulnerable. The idiom "Achilles' heel" has come to mean a fatal flaw, a chink in one's armor.
