2023 Niue ACHILLES Legendary Warriors 2 oz Silver Coin NGCX 10

  

Known for his remarkable strength and valor. He is the son of Thetis, a sea nymph, and King Peleus. This gives him a unique blend of godlike strength and human vulnerability. Achilles was famously dipped in the River Styx by his mother to gain invincibility, but his heel, by which she held him, remained vulnerable. This vulnerability led to his tragic downfall, as he was mortally wounded by an arrow to the heel.

Achilles played a crucial role in the Trojan War, fighting on the Greek side and becoming a symbol of heroism and tragedy. Achilles' legacy endures as a symbol of strength and the potential frailty of even the mightiest heroes.
