In ancient Greece, there was a great hero named Achilles. He was born with extraordinary strength and was highly skilled in martial arts, being invincible in numerous battles. His body seemed to be endowed with endless power by the gods. No matter how powerful the enemy was, he could defeat them easily. Achilles' fame spread throughout Greece, and people respected and admired him greatly, regarding him as the greatest hero. However, Achilles gradually became conceited. He began to think that he was invincible, and this proud feeling grew slowly in his heart.
On the eve of an important war, Achilles, as usual, was patrolling in the military camp. He walked with his head held high, and his eyes were full of confidence. When the soldiers saw him, they saluted respectfully. When he talked to the soldiers, he always unconsciously showed a proud look. He told the soldiers that this war was like a game to him, and the enemies were just ants in his eyes. He didn't take the enemies seriously at all. Although the soldiers reminded him to be cautious, Achilles didn't care. He firmly believed that his strength could easily destroy the enemies.
The war began. Achilles rushed towards the enemies like a fierce beast. His speed was extremely fast and his strength was astonishing. Wherever he went, the enemies fell one after another. He waved his sword wantonly on the battlefield, and every swing was accompanied by the screams of the enemies. There was an arrogant smile on his face, as if he was enjoying this one - sided slaughter. He rampaged through the enemy formation without any tactics, relying solely on his strength and speed because he believed that no one could harm him.
However, there were also clever people among the enemies. They discovered a secret of Achilles, that is, his heel was his only weakness. So, they quietly set a trap. When Achilles was on a killing spree on the battlefield, an enemy hidden in the dark quietly drew his bow, and the arrowhead aimed at Achilles' heel. At this time, Achilles was still immersed in his fantasy of invincibility and was completely unaware of the approaching danger.
Suddenly, the arrow shot towards Achilles' heel like a bolt of lightning. Achilles felt a sharp pain. He looked down and saw that the arrow had been deeply inserted into his heel. An expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He never expected that he would be hurt by the enemy. He tried to continue fighting, but the pain in his heel made him unable to stand, and his strength was disappearing little by little.
Finally, Achilles fell heavily to the ground. He looked at the sky with his eyes, and his heart was full of regret. He realized how stupid his conceit was, but it was too late. This once - arrogant hero was defeated by the enemy and fell forever because of his weakness and pride. His story has become a warning among the Greeks, admonishing people that no matter how powerful they are, they should not be conceited, because pride will make people lose their reason, overlook their weaknesses, and eventually lead to failure.
