River Styx

  1. Now, according to Greek Myths, this how Achilles' heel happened. His mom held him by his heel and dipped him into the river styx, thus making him invulnerable to all attacks. And of course, his heel is his vulnerable spot. He died when Paris shot him at the heel with an arrow during the Trojan War.

    Now the main question is, if you took a dip into the river styx, what would be your Achilles Heel?

    Also, I would sooo like to have Ceberus as a pet.
     
  2. Well assuming because I know how to swim, all of me would be invulnerable?
     
  3. The back of his ankle, actually. The tendon back there is called Achilles's tendon for that reason. :)
     
  4. Who cares, whatever, greeks won Trojan war by cheating, all gods were on their side except Zeus ...... Yet they couldn't win in 9 years

    Stupid cheating colonists :?
     
  5. Zeus FTW ?️
     
  6. The heel is on the bottom part of the tendon, at the back of the ankle. If if you're thinking of the bottom of the back of the feet then that isn't right
     
  7. Hades FTUnderWorld ?
     
  8. Hm true but river styx will try to pull you in so you'll need someone to hold on to part of you so you don't sink in
     
  9. I mean... I guess it's all right since the heel is a bone, and that whole area is connected to the tendon. Lol she probably would have been holding the foot and ankle area, really.
     
  10. Soeaking from someone who also took a dip in the Styx...WHY THE HELL SHOULD ANYONE TELL WHERE THEIR ACHILLES HEELS ARE? ARE YOU INSANE? THAT'S LIKE PUTTING UP A HUGE "X MARKS THE SPOT. COME KILL ME." SIGN ON YOU.
     

  11. Real drama queen, Seaweed Brain.
     
  12. Omg. Annabeth. Percy.  Where's Grover?
     
  13. I'd use a rope. Just jump in and switch your hands holding the rope then climb out. Entire body covered.
     

  14. I mean and all the other male gods except Hephaestus for you amirite
     
  15.  
  16. Hahah poor Hephaestus
