His mother held the baby Achilles by the heel when she dipped him in the River Styx to make him invulnerable to injury. His heel was not exposed to the magic of the river water and he died after being shot in the heel with an arrow.

Achilles died in the heel because when he bathed in River Styx he chose his heel as his weak spot.
