Achilles

• When Helen, the beautiful wife of Menelaus, king
  of Sparta, was kidnapped to Troy, Menelaus called
  upon his fellow chieftains to help him recover
  his wife
• One of them was the great warrior Achilles
• Because his mother Thetis dipped him into the
  River Styx, he was invulnerable except at the
  heel by which she held him.
• During the war against Troy Achilles took 12
  nearby cities, but after a quarrel with Agamemnon
  he refused further service.
• He allowed his beloved cousin Patroclus to fight
  in his armor, and when Hector slew Patroclus,
  Achilles returned to battle, killed Hector, and
  dragged his body around the walls of Troy.
• Achilles died of a wound inflicted by Paris.

Coppermine Photo Gallery Achilles is my
sister's cat, named after Brad Pitt's character
in Troy. He's extremely shy so he doesn't exactly
live up to the heroic character's name, but it's
a cool name for him.
