Achilles

 Achilles was not a god, he was a human hero. He was one of the greatest warriors of greece, fighting in the Trojan War. 

In Hercules, Philoctetes mentions the closest he got to being well known was when Achilles shined in his brightness. From afar, Philoctetes cheered Achilles in. But, alas: Achilles heal was no match for the war. An arrow struck, leaving him wounded in battle and dead as he could be.

I personally think that the story of Achilles is meant for those who are not as confident in themselves. Achilles only flaw was that his heal was as fragile as a leaf. Sometimes, life feels like that, as if you felt like you weren't enough.

However, I think we can strive to be better than Achilles. We can be the Achilles that Philoctetes wanted, strong and brave; nothing can stop us.
