Where in your body is your Achilles tendon?
Correct answer: Heel
Gary
It's called the Achilles tendon because Greek mythology says that Achilles mother held him by the heel and dipped him in the river to make him invincible so his heel did not get dipped as did the rest of him and he died in battle by being struck in the heel by an arrow.

Snapped mine playing squash. Felt like a bullet and when I looked, my whole calf muscle was behind my knee :(

Tore my achilles in Rugby league pre season training was rather painful. Played close to the whole season with it strapped up until i broke my hand. GOOD TIMES

pikou77, Hope all good now
Kelly
Being struck by the arrow on the heel merely stripped him of his immortality. The rest of his body was then therefore vulnerable and susceptible to injury. He incurred further arrow wounds which killed him.

I fell off the back of a motorcycle when I was a teenager. The doctor told my Mom I would never walk again. When the cast came off, I was completely healed and just a scar to show for it.
