Document Summary
Paris son of preum and abducted helen. Prophecy that thetis (mother) would have son that would take his father (this is the secret that. Prometheus hid from zues) zeus makes sure thetis marries a mortal. Peleus takes a wife (thetis is a shape shifter turned into a bunch of weird shit when they got married) Thetis tries to make achilles immortal, dips her son in the river styx holding him by his ankle (which the styx water never touched) therefore his ankle is his only weak spot and he is immortal. Thetis sends achilles to a centaur, the wise chiron and taught him how to be a warrior and an education. The prophecy about achilles: he will live long, but uneventful life or he will live a short but glorious one. Thetis begs achilles to not go to troy to fight in the war. Ganymede, son of tros zeus loves him and wanted to take him to olympus.
