He was also the protagonist of Homer’s epic, the Iliad. He was the son of Peleus, king of the Myrmidons, and Thetis, a nymph. Both Zeus and Poseidon were in love with Thetis, however Prometheus warned them of a prophecy that said the son of Thetis would be greater than his father; so, the two gods decided to withdraw, and Peleus ended up marrying her. When Achilles was born, his mother wanted to make him immortal and thus, dipped him in the river Styx. However, she did not realise that his heel, by which she held him, was not touched by the waters, and so that was the only part of his body that remained mortal. According to another version, Thetis covered Achilles’ body in ambrosia and put him on top of a fire to burn away his mortality; however, she was enraged because she was interrupted by Peleus and abandoned them... Hector was a prince of Troy in Greek mythology, son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba. His wife was Andromache and they had a son, Scamandrius or Astyanax. Hector was considered the greatest warrior of Troy, but he did not approve of the war that had started between the Greeks and the Trojans. During the Trojan War, he was the leader of the Trojan army. It was prophesied that the first Greek who would land on Trojan soil would die. Odysseus, cunning as he was, threw his shield on the soil and landed on it. Therefore, the next person who stepped off the ship was Protesilaus and was killed in a duel with Hector, fulfilling the prophecy... * Buy with confidence from our over three decades experienced shop, best seller of Greek cds/dvds/vinyls, bio Cretan products, statues and souvenirs on eBay. *We guarantee all items we sell are original and sealed. *Delivery time : Europe 3-10 days, Rest of the world 5-20 days.

Excellent service from GreekCretanShop. In Brazil we have many difficulties with imported goods, with intense inspection by the federal revenue service and high taxes on these goods. I received the goods in excellent condition and in a few days. I received very good service and I recommend them to everyone. Receiving the CDs from Nikos Ignatiadis was a great Christmas present. Congratulations to the entire GreekCretanShop team and especially to Panos.
The DVD's arrived from Crete very quickly. After holidaying in Agios Nikolas this year, my wife ready the book called the Island and we went o n a trip to Spinalonga. She had heard that there was a TV series of the book but we couldn't find it anywhere. We are really happy with the DVD's and the communication was very good all through the process. i would highly recommend GreekCretanshop.
I’ve been searching for this DVD for years (even contacted the production company who, you would’ve thought, would have been able to help but couldn’t!). Whilst it was a bit expensive, that’s supply & demand for you. Came beautifully packaged and was an original unopened collection. Thanks GreekCretanShop, you’ve made my year. Polee Efharisto
