Achilles Life

Achilles was the son of Nymph Thetis and Peleus of Mirmidam-king. Zeus and Poseidon were the wanderers. For this reason, both of them had intense competition. Meanwhile, it was foretold that the Thetis would give birth to a child that would be much stronger than his father. If the fire-maker Prometheus warned Zeus about this prediction, both the gods abandoned the determination to marry Thetis and gave him marriage to Peleus.

Similar to most mythologies, these incidents have been described differently in another epic: Arongonteika (four, 760) states that Hira indirectly brought of the Thetis to Zeus's brood; But the Thetis was extremely loyal to Hera's marriage, she refused Zeus on a cold head.

In the first century of the Christian era, it is known that, when Achilles was born, Thetis drowned in the Styx River in the heart of the newborn. But the part of the ankle that the Thetis dipped the Achilles to the water, the part is left alive. But there is no support for this story from any other source. It is not clear whether the state of this incident was previously known.

As a result, both wars were fought and telephone wounded by Achilles in battle. In many cases, he did not get the wounds, then the king turned to Oracle or the predecessor. The prophet said, "The injury that hit, will hit the trail". King Telephus attended Argo, listening to the prophecies. There Achilles cured the king on condition that he would be their guide on the way to Troy.
From a few accounts related to a lost drama about Telephus, the Telephus appeared in the incognito mode of a beggar and prayed to Achilles to heal her wound. Achilles refused to help him by speaking about his ignorance of medical science. Then Telephus Aristes was betrothed. In exchange for his release, he claimed that Achilles's help to heal his wounds. Odysseus argues, since the wounds caused by the use of the spear, it certainly will be able to cure it. Telephus was cured if some pieces of the spear were switched on the wounds.

In the later text of this story, it is narrated that Achilles accidentally killed Troilus in an overwhelmingly aggressive manner. According to this lesson, the death of Achilles came as a punishment for the profanity.
