* [[Achilles' Heel]]: [[Trope Namer]] that is surprisingly not ''[[The Iliad]]''. That is the story of his rage, but it doesn't cover many of the famous parts of the [[Trojan War]], including his death and the creation of the Trojan Horse (those are narrated in lost epics of the [[The Trojan Cycle|Trojan Cycle]]). In fact, the Achilles Heel myth is not even referenced in the text, and Achilles is more known for his skill, strength, speed, and ferocity than for being nigh-invulnerable.
