Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Achilleid is an incomplete Roman epic written by Statius late in the first century. The two chapters that were completed depict Achilles being hidden away by his mother Thetis on the island of Skyros before being discovered by Ulysses and convinced to fight in the Trojan War.Despite being short, incomplete, and rarely remembered, the Achilleid has had a profound effect on later depictions of Achilles and Greek heroes in general. Statius appears to be the inventor of Achilles' famous invulnerability, the role of the River Styx in Achilles' Origin Story, and the idea that his heel was, well, an Achilles' Heel in the forms that we understand them today. Like most of Statius' works, it was incredibly popular in the Medieval Europe and scholars of the time considered him an equal of Virgil and Ovid. Its influence is particularly pronounced on later examples of epic poetry like The Divine Comedy and The Faerie Queene.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| The Achilleid / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Ulysses tricks Achilles into revealing himself by putting a shield and spear in front of him and having a soldier blow a war horn. As a young warrior eager for battle, Achilles instinctively throws off his dress and wig and takes up arms, forcing him out of hiding and setting him on the path to join the Trojan War. | |

Achilles' Heel | |
| The Achilleid / int_d7639dba | comment |
Achilles' Heel: When Thetis mentions dipping Achilles in the River Styx, she laments that she couldn't engulf his entire body in the river. This implies that he died because he was struck in the one part of his body not enchanted by the river. | |

Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Achilles tearfully vows to Deidamia that he will never take a Trojan wife or have a child by any of them. The line immediately after this promise tells us that Achilles will eventually break his vows on his travels. | |
