The Death And Afterlife Of Achilles
Achilles' death - by an arrow shot through the vulnerable heel of the otherwise invincible mythic hero - was as well known in antiquity as the rest of the history of the Trojan War. This work traces the story of Achilles as represented in other ancient sources in order to offer an understanding of the death and afterlife of this Greek warrior.
