 | Polyxena | |
| Note: According to Greek legend, Achilles fell in love with the Trojan princess Polyxena, youngest daughter of King Priam of Troy and his queen, Hecuba. He was offered her hand in marriage if he agreed to end the war between the Greeks and the Trojans. At Polyxena's request, Achilles came to make a sacrifice to Apollo, but he was ambushed by Paris, Polyxena's brother, as he knelt at the altar. Paris shot a fatal arrow into Achilles' heel, his one vulnerable spot. Before he died, Achilles vengefully proclaimed that the treacherous Polyxena be sacrificed at his tomb. | |
