The Name Game

The myth of Achilles is one of the most enduring stories of western civilization, immortalized in Homer’s Iliad. It is the story of a nearly invulnerable warrior whose only weakness was the tendons that connected his heels to his calf muscles. It reminds us that everyone, no matter how powerful, has weaknesses.
