Introduction

We learned that sometimes root words come from Greek or Latin words, but sometimes our phrases and words in English also come from myths! We will be reviewing greek myths and try to understand the word that was created from the myth.

Yesterday, we reviewed the word "echo." Today, we will be reviewing the origins of the phrase "Achilles heel."
