🎬 Welcome to a new fascinating episode of this epic series about the myths of antiquity! SIGN UP: www.youtube.com...
We find ourselves in the heart of the legendary Trojan War, to reveal the secrets and multiple versions of the death of one of the greatest heroes of Greek mythology: Achilles!
🌟 As we all know, Achilles, son of the goddess Thetis and king Peleus, was invincible in battle, except for one small detail: his heel. But how was this legend born? And what led to the downfall of such a mighty hero?
💧 Thetis, Achilles' mother, tries to make her beloved son invulnerable by immersing him in the waters of the Styx. However, during this ritual, one Achilles' heel remains dry and therefore vulnerable, becoming his only weakness.
🔮 But had Achilles' fate already been written in the stars? There are versions of the myth that tell of another attempt by Thetis to make Achilles' body divine, but which was interrupted, leaving a human and weak part in her son.
🏹 And so comes the fateful moment of his death: during the Trojan War, Achilles, thirsty for revenge for the death of his dear friend Antillochus, challenges the city walls, ignoring divine warnings. It is Apollo himself who, enraged, shoots an arrow at the hero's heel, consigning him to his end.
🦁 Achilles, despite his mortal wound, continues to fight like a lion, cursing the coward who attacked him from afar. But in the end, like a mountain falling onto the plain, Achilles collapses to the ground, ending his epic saga.
🔥 But the story of Achilles' death is not limited to this version. There are other intricate political and love plots surrounding this event: his love for the Trojan Polyxena, the negotiation with Hector, and the possible regicide of Agamemnon.
🎥 Don't miss this gripping episode, which will take you into the den of myths and legends, where truth mixes with fantasy and heroism collides with destiny!
