His mother was the nymph Thetis, and his father, Peleus, was the king of the Myrmidons. Achilles’ most notable feat during the Trojan War was the slaying of the Trojan hero Hector outside the gates of Troy. Although the death of Achilles is not presented in the Iliad, other sources concur that he was killed near the end of the Trojan War by Paris, who shot him in the heel with an arrow. Later legends (beginning with a poem by Statius in the 1st century AD) state that Achilles was invulnerable in all of his body except for his heel. Because of his death from a small wound in the heel, the term Achilles' heel has come to mean a person's point of weakness. (B55) In Greek religion and mythology, Owl is a great symbol of knowledge, wisdom, perspicacity and erudition. Tracking number provided!!!

The replica ancient Greek vase I received looks as good as an original. The colors are correct as is the subject content. It is visually appealing and impressive size. Shipping was relatively fast for coming from overseas and it was packaged safely to insure from damage. This merchant was a pleasure to do business with.
I did not receive this. The seller communicated to me the post office had lost. I would buy from this seller again.
Excellent seller! Great comms, quick ship, well-packed, as described! Would buy from them again!
