An Achilles' heel is a weakness in spite of overall strength, which can actually or potentially lead to downfall. While the mythological origin refers to a physical vulnerability, idiomatic references to other attributes or qualities that can lead to downfall are common.
Origin
In Greek mythology, when Achilles was a baby, it was foretold that he would die young. To prevent his death, his mother Thetis took Achilles to the River Styx, which was supposed to offer powers of invulnerability, and dipped his body into the water. But as Thetis held Achilles by the heel, his heel was not washed over by the water of the magical river. Achilles grew up to be a man of war who survived many great battles. But one day, a poisonous arrow shot at him was lodged in his heel, killing him shortly after.
The death of Achilles was not mentioned in Homer's Iliad, but appeared in later Greek and Roman poetry and drama concerning events after the Iliad, later in the Trojan War. In the myths surrounding the war, Achilles was said to have died from a heel wound which was the result of an arrow—possibly poisoned—shot by Paris.
Achilles Heel (also known as Pedro the Lion's Achilles Heel) is the fourth and final album by indie rock band Pedro the Lion. It was released on May 25, 2004, on Jade Tree Records. The cover artwork was by Jesse LeDoux. It reached #26 on the Top Heatseekers and #24 on the Top Independent Albums charts.

Achilles’ most notable feat during the Trojan War was the slaying of the Trojan hero Hector outside the gates of Troy. Although the death of Achilles is not presented in the Iliad, other sources concur that he was killed near the end of the Trojan War by Paris, who shot him in the heel with an arrow. Later legends (beginning with a poem by Statius in the 1st century AD) state that Achilles was invulnerable in all of his body except for his heel. Because of his death from a small wound in the heel, the term Achilles' heel has come to mean a person's point of weakness.
Etymology
Achilles' name can be analyzed as a combination of ἄχος (akhos) "grief" and λαός (laos) "a people, tribe, nation." In other words, Achilles is an embodiment of the grief of the people, grief being a theme raised numerous times in the Iliad (frequently by Achilles). Achilles' role as the hero of grief forms an ironic juxtaposition with the conventional view of Achilles as the hero of κλέος kleos ("glory", usually glory in war).
The Achilles company built scooters and mopeds in West Germany between 1953 and 1957. The moped was powered by a 48cc engine, while the scooters were powered by 98cc and 123cc Sachs engines. When the factory closed down, the British Norman Cycles firm purchased the production equipment to manufacture their own moped.

Achilles Heel
[Verse 1]
I swear on my life and the River Styx
I never thought it'd be you I'd miss
Now I'm dangling by the ankle somewhere cold
Like Sisyphus pushing that rock uphill
Or Echo falling for a daffodil
You lured me like a siren to the shore
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now I can't keep this love
'Cause it always hurts too much
I keep crumbling, I keep stumbling
'Cause you've become my crutch
[Chorus]
Loving you's my Achilles' heel
Drop my guard when you're with me, I can't deal
I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles
I want to kill this Achilles' heel
[Verse 2]
You said you wanted me, no strings attached
I guess I have the Fates to thank for that
Call me Icarus

[Verse 1]
I swear on my life and the River Styx
I never thought it'd be you I'd miss
Now I'm dangling by the ankle somewhere cold
Like Sisyphus pushing that rock uphill
Or Echo falling for a daffodil
You lured me like a siren to the shore
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now I can't keep this love
'Cause it always hurts too much

[Chorus]
Loving you's my Achilles' heel

I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles
I want to kill this Achilles' heel
[Verse 2]
You said you wanted me, no strings attached
I guess I have the Fates to thank for that
Call me Icarus
'cause baby, you're my sun
But now I'm turning to stone looking in your eyes 'Cause you love hard, Kore only half the time
Athena'd be jealous of the web you spun
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Like Atlas held too much
I feel crushed under this love
'Cause with those nectar lips
And ambrosia hips
Boy, you've become my drug
[Chorus]
Loving you's my Achilles' heel
Drop my guard when you're with me, I can't deal
I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles
I want to kill this Achilles' heel
[Post-Chorus]
Mm, mm, kill this Achilles' heel
Don't wanna have to heal
Achilles, Achilles' Heel
I don't want to have to heal
[Bridge]
Now it's time to bring the choir
Play your game and string the lyre
Boy, I'm like Prometheus
Finally taking back my fire
Your horse is in the gate again
But this time I won't let it in
I'm closing that Pandora's Box
Escaping from this labyrinth
No more looking back like Orpheus
Labor like I'm Heracles
You're losing your golden touch
I'll end this part like my name's Paris
[Chorus]
Loving you's my Achilles' heel
Drop my guard when you're with me, I can't deal
I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles
I want to kill this Achilles' heel

JARED’S FOAM ROLLER: https://urlgeni.us/amzn/drjaredfoamroller
JARED’S STRETCH OUT STRAP: https://urlgeni.us/amzn/stretchoutstrap
Before we jump right in to these stretches and exercises, it’s important that we make one distinction very clear: there’s a big difference between treating an acute case of tendonitis and a chronic Achilles tendon pain problem.
IF YOU’VE HAD PAIN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS: chances are there’s still a lot of inflammation in the area of your tendon. If your pain is less than two weeks old, my recommendation would be primarily an anti-inflammatory approach. Rest, ice, gentle massage, and gentle stretching will yield the best results for your problem.
IF YOU’VE HAD PAIN FOR MORE THAN TWO WEEKS: At this point your pain is becoming slightly more chronic. The pain you are experiencing is no longer primarily inflammatory… at this point there is scar tissue that’s accumulating that needs to be addressed. This problem (termed an Achilles tendinosis) responds better to aggressive massage, stretching, and eccentric exercises (as demonstrated in the video above).
THE BEST EXERCISES FOR YOUR ACHILLES TENDON PAIN
I always recommend people start with some massage to the area of the injury. If the injury is acute (less than 2 weeks) you may need to be a little more gentle. If the problem has lasted longer than two weeks, you may have to be more aggressive. I tell patients to be as aggressive as their pain threshold will allow.
1. CROSS FRICTION MASSAGE: forward and back as well as up and down along the length of the injury.
2. FOAM ROLLER: great way to release fascia/knots up into the calf muscles.
After massaging, it’s important to introduce some gentle stretching into the Achilles area. Not many people realize that your “calf muscle” is, in fact, two muscles. Both are stretched slightly differently but it’s crucial that we spend a little time stretching both of them out.
3. STANDING GASTROCNEMIUS STRETCH: performed in standing with the knee straight.
4. STANDING SOLEUS STRETCH: performed in standing with the knee bent.
After stretching, it’s important to introduce some active motion into the ankle joint to promote as much blood flow as possible into the injured area and provide some slight tensile force through the Achilles. Our goal is to heal it and get it used to moving normally again.
The following progression of exercises is presented in order from least difficult (and least effective) to most difficult (and most effective). You should start with the first and work your way through the progression as tolerated.
5. ANKLE PUMPS: non-weight-bearing active motion through as much range of motion as you have available.
6. STANDING HEEL RAISES: stand up and raise/lower your heels as high as possible and then back down to the ground.
7. HEEL RAISES ON STAIR: with the balls of your feet on the edge of a stair you can raise/lower your heels through a greater range of motion. Try to let your heels fall below the level of your toes.
8. ECCENTRIC HEEL RAISES: has been proven to promote the best healing in tendons due to their high tensile forces. For a right calf Achilles tendon pain, you would stand on the edge of a stair and raise up onto both toes. Lift your left foot and slowly lower the heel raise with just your right leg.
There you have them! Those are the best tips, techniques, and exercises to help you to eliminate your Achilles tendon pain fast!

Lyrics
Goodbye to the sky
I know I can't fly but I feel love do you know
How I feel?
You are my achilles heel
Hello to below
I feel love flow like a river flow you and I
Standing still
You are my achilles heel
Feeling free yeah what about me?
Well you gotta give it up coz I feel love do you know
How I feel ?
You are my achilles heel
Goodbye to the sky
I know I can't fly but I feel love do you know
How I feel ?
You are my achilles heel
For there's a child in your eyes and the child never dies
To keep the dream alive
With the aid of second sight
I can push with all my might
To make a statue in the sky
Of my achilles heel
Small fry don't know why
Gotta get high just to love life
You are my highs and lows from my head to my toes
I said hey la
Will I go far?
Will I go far - cos I love life
Do you know how I feel?
You are my achilles heel
I said Oh no no
Will I go slow?
Now will I go slow?
When the feeling flows
Well you're feeling free
So what about me?
I said hello and goodbye
But I don't know why
Well while we're small fry
On the line
With my achilles heel
Achilles heel etc (- to fade)

Now will I go slow?
When the feeling flows
Well you're feeling free
So what about me?
I said hello and goodbye
But I don't know why
Well while we're small fry
On the line
With my achilles heel
Achilles heel etc (- to fade)

No fighter is perfect - and in a sport as unpredictable as mixed martial arts, sometimes a great champion’s undoing can come at the most unexpected of times, against the most unlikely of opponents.
But for these ten fighters, over the years there has been more than enough tape out on them to single out one major weakness to their otherwise fantastic skillsets.
And with that in mind, we’re going to take a look at 10 MMA Legends and their very obvious Achilles Heels.

Achilles Heel
[Verse 1]
I swear on my life and the River Styx
I never thought it'd be you I'd miss
Now I'm dangling by the ankle somewhere cold
Like Sisyphus pushing that rock uphill
Or Echo falling for a daffodil
You lured me like a siren to the shore
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now I can't keep this love
'Cause it always hurts too much
I keep crumbling, I keep stumbling
'Cause you've become my crutch
[Chorus]
Loving you's my Achilles' heel
Drop my guard when you're with me, I can't deal
I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles
I want to kill this Achilles' heel
[Verse 2]
You said you wanted me, no strings attached
I guess I have the Fates to thank for that
Call me Icarus
'cause baby, you're my sun
But now I'm turning to stone looking in your eyes 'Cause you love hard, Kore only half the time
Athena'd be jealous of the web you spun
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Like Atlas held too much
I feel crushed under this love
'Cause with those nectar lips
And ambrosia hips
Boy, you've become my drug
[Chorus]
Loving you's my Achilles' heel
Drop my guard when you're with me, I can't deal
I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles
I want to kill this Achilles' heel
[Post-Chorus]
Mm, mm, kill this Achilles' heel
Don't wanna have to heal
Achilles, Achilles' Heel
I don't want to have to heal
[Bridge]
Now it's time to bring the choir
Play your game and string the lyre
Boy, I'm like Prometheus
Finally taking back my fire
Your horse is in the gate again
But this time I won't let it in
I'm closing that Pandora's Box
Escaping from this labyrinth
No more looking back like Orpheus
Labor like I'm Heracles
You're losing your golden touch
I'll end this part like my name's Paris
[Chorus]
Loving you's my Achilles' heel
Drop my guard when you're with me, I can't deal
I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles
I want to kill this Achilles' heel
[Post-Chorus]
Mm, mm, kill this Achilles' Heel
Don't wanna have to heal
Achilles, Achilles' Heel
I don't want to have to heal

JARED’S STRETCH OUT STRAP: https://urlgeni.us/amzn/stretchoutstrap
Before we jump right in to these stretches and exercises, it’s important that we make one distinction very clear: there’s a big difference between treating an acute case of tendonitis and a chronic Achilles tendon pain problem.
IF YOU’VE HAD PAIN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS: chances are there’s still a lot of inflammation in the area of your tendon. If your pain is less than two weeks old, my recommendation would be primarily an anti-inflammatory approach. Rest, ice, gentle massage, and gentle stretching will yield the best results for your problem.
IF YOU’VE HAD PAIN FOR MORE THAN TWO WEEKS: At this point your pain is becoming slightly more chronic. The pain you are experiencing is no longer primarily inflammatory… at this point there is scar tissue that’s accumulating that needs to be addressed. This problem (termed an Achilles tendinosis) responds better to aggressive massage, stretching, and eccentric exercises (as demonstrated in the video above).
THE BEST EXERCISES FOR YOUR ACHILLES TENDON PAIN
I always recommend people start with some massage to the area of the injury. If the injury is acute (less than 2 weeks) you may need to be a little more gentle. If the problem has lasted longer than two weeks, you may have to be more aggressive. I tell patients to be as aggressive as their pain threshold will allow.
1. CROSS FRICTION MASSAGE: forward and back as well as up and down along the length of the injury.
2. FOAM ROLLER: great way to release fascia/knots up into the calf muscles.
After massaging, it’s important to introduce some gentle stretching into the Achilles area. Not many people realize that your “calf muscle” is, in fact, two muscles. Both are stretched slightly differently but it’s crucial that we spend a little time stretching both of them out.
3. STANDING GASTROCNEMIUS STRETCH: performed in standing with the knee straight.
4. STANDING SOLEUS STRETCH: performed in standing with the knee bent.
After stretching, it’s important to introduce some active motion into the ankle joint to promote as much blood flow as possible into the injured area and provide some slight tensile force through the Achilles. Our goal is to heal it and get it used to moving normally again.
The following progression of exercises is presented in order from least difficult (and least effective) to most difficult (and most effective). You should start with the first and work your way through the progression as tolerated.
5. ANKLE PUMPS: non-weight-bearing active motion through as much range of motion as you have available.
6. STANDING HEEL RAISES: stand up and raise/lower your heels as high as possible and then back down to the ground.
7. HEEL RAISES ON STAIR: with the balls of your feet on the edge of a stair you can raise/lower your heels through a greater range of motion. Try to let your heels fall below the level of your toes.
8. ECCENTRIC HEEL RAISES: has been proven to promote the best healing in tendons due to their high tensile forces. For a right calf Achilles tendon pain, you would stand on the edge of a stair and raise up onto both toes. Lift your left foot and slowly lower the heel raise with just your right leg.
There you have them! Those are the best tips, techniques, and exercises to help you to eliminate your Achilles tendon pain fast!

Lyrics
Goodbye to the sky
I know I can't fly but I feel love do you know
How I feel?
You are my achilles heel
Hello to below
I feel love flow like a river flow you and I
Standing still
You are my achilles heel
Feeling free yeah what about me?
Well you gotta give it up coz I feel love do you know
How I feel ?
You are my achilles heel
Goodbye to the sky
I know I can't fly but I feel love do you know
How I feel ?
You are my achilles heel
For there's a child in your eyes and the child never dies
To keep the dream alive
With the aid of second sight
I can push with all my might
To make a statue in the sky
Of my achilles heel
Small fry don't know why
Gotta get high just to love life
You are my highs and lows from my head to my toes
I said hey la
Will I go far?
Will I go far - cos I love life
Do you know how I feel?
You are my achilles heel
I said Oh no no
Will I go slow?
Now will I go slow?
When the feeling flows
Well you're feeling free
So what about me?
I said hello and goodbye
But I don't know why
Well while we're small fry
On the line
With my achilles heel
Achilles heel etc (- to fade)

An Achilles' heel is a weakness in spite of overall strength, which can actually or potentially lead to downfall. While the mythological origin refers to a physical vulnerability, idiomatic references to other attributes or qualities that can lead to downfall are common.
Origin
In Greek mythology, when Achilles was a baby, it was foretold that he would die young. To prevent his death, his mother Thetis took Achilles to the River Styx, which was supposed to offer powers of invulnerability, and dipped his body into the water. But as Thetis held Achilles by the heel, his heel was not washed over by the water of the magical river. Achilles grew up to be a man of war who survived many great battles. But one day, a poisonous arrow shot at him was lodged in his heel, killing him shortly after.
The death of Achilles was not mentioned in Homer's Iliad, but appeared in later Greek and Roman poetry and drama concerning events after the Iliad, later in the Trojan War. In the myths surrounding the war, Achilles was said to have died from a heel wound which was the result of an arrow—possibly poisoned—shot by Paris.
(Job 11:13-18) There's something wrenching in your brain Unbearable pressure and pain Those thoughts you have inside your head Seem to be stirring what you've fled CHORUS Shot to the spot, Achilles Heel You know the pain is real Addictive chain around your neck Your life is what it steals You're falling apart, it's in your eyes Don't reach for yourself, reach for the sky Desolation is your next of kin Lonely outcries are your only friends You find no answers in your heart You had no direction from the start CHORUS Shot to the spot, Achilles Heel You know the pain is real Addictive chain around your neck Your life is what it steals You're falling apart, it's in your eyes Don't reach for yourself, reach for the sky
