Achilles Sword – The Weapon of a Legend

It seems that it has become a fact within Greek mythology that swords that were used by heroes in ancient lore carried about them a unique personality, and the Achilles sword was definitely one of them. As far as the stories go, the power of the sword was as unmatched as the hero who wielded it was. This Greek hero happened to be Achilles.

Achilles was known in Greek lore for his invaluable participation in the Trojan War. Being the primary character in Iliad by Homer, he was pictured as one of the most beautiful warriors that met against the warriors of Troy. Achilles was said to be immortal, especially when he is in battle. However, he was known to have one weakness, his heel, which was contemplated after he died of a poison arrow struck at that part of his body. This aspect of the story actually brought about the concept of the “Achilles Heel”, referring to a person’s personal weaknesses.

But the Achilles Sword was crafted to perfection, almost like the legendary hero himself. Movie Swords Collectors will be happy to know that it comes with a nice display plaque.
