Achilles' Heel - Scented Candle × A Gift of Feeling

1. Did You Know? - There's a real statue of an injured Achilles in Greece. - The phrase "Achilles' Heel" is a lyric in Taylor Swift's "State of Grace (Taylor's Version)." 2. The Mythical Origin of the Proverb The term "Achilles' Heel" originates from the Greek myth of Achilles, a central figure in the Trojan War. According to legend, Achilles was the son of the sea nymph Thetis and King Peleus. To make him invulnerable, his mother dipped him into the River Styx, granting him superhuman strength. However, she held him by his heel during this process, leaving that part untouched by the magical waters. From then on, Achilles became a legendary warrior, renowned for his unparalleled combat skills and undefeated prowess. Yet, he harbored a fatal secret weakness: his heel. Tragically, this vulnerability ultimately led to his downfall. During the Trojan War, Prince Paris, with the aid of the god Apollo, shot an arrow that struck his heel, causing his death. Since then, the term "Achilles' Heel" has evolved to describe a person's sole weakness or vulnerability, even in the most powerful or influential individuals. It serves as a reminder that even the mightiest heroes have moments of fragility. 3. A Distinctive Aroma The scent of this candle is called "Petrichor," capturing the fresh aroma of morning rain falling on damp earth, creating a uniquely serene ambiance.
