achiles

Achilles, a man with a plan, big dreams, even bigger muscles. He works hard, but his hard is hardly working. A true nerd if Iโ€™ve ever seen one. Small heart, even smaller dick. He is the true successor to thoughts and feelings of persistence, but also boredom.

Wow, homework, your such an achiles.

Achilles Complex

The condition that some people have where their fatal flaw is hubris. Hubris is having too much pride to the point of thinking that they do not need help and can do anything on their own without outside help, even when the situation is a snipe with a shotgun.

The condition comes from Achilles in the Trojan War where the gods told him he could not kill all of the Trojans without help but he charged on anyways, which led to his death. The pride inside of him made him charge into battle so he could keep his pride instead of lose his pride, and then his honor.

It's probably best to let the person with Achilles Complex to find out their own way that they will need help with the task at hand. If you insist on helping before they ask, you will miss one thing and another will happen. You will miss them actually asking for help (they just rejected all of their pride), and jumping in before they ask will just anger them. All you can do is wait for their call for help. Then, if you are not a douche, you will help. If you are a douche, then you should kill yourself before the person with Achilles Complex does.

Me: Hey check out the hot blondes over by the pool.
Sam: You will just be shot down. Look around.
Me: I'm doing it anyways.
Sam: You really do have the Achilles Complex. Want my help?
Me: Hell no. If I wanted it, I would have asked.
Sam: Ok. Good luck.

Song of Achilles

A book written by Madeline Miller that is written from the point of view of Patroclus, a close friend and lover of the famous Achilles. The book made many people sob their eyes out and educated them, since Miller did extensive historical research for the book. It's a very well-written book and is a favorite to millions.

Person 1: Hey, have you read Song of Achilles?
Person 2: No, I haven't. Is it good?
Person 1: Oh yeah it's great! It made me sob for a whole hour when I finished! So heart-wrenching!

Achilles' heel

noun; a weakness in someone or something that is strong overall (the weakness is often, but not always, seemingly small but crucial, leading to misfortunate events)

The Brazilian soccer team's defense was its Achilles' heel in World Cup 1998. Despite having strong forwards, the team was ultimately scored upon three times by France.
