Achilles reaching for his heel

This majestic statue depicts Achilles, the legendary Greek warrior of the Trojan War, who gained incredible strength when dipped into the river Styx as a toddler, yet remained vulnerable on one small spot - his left ankle, which was grasped by his mother's hand at the time. The powerful sculpture shows Achilles scrutinizing this exact area and instinctively reaching down to touch it.
