pélida
  39

Sing, o Muse, the anger of the son of Peleus Achilles, fatal cholera that caused endless evil to the achaeans.... Thus begins the Iliad, beautiful account of the 8th century BC., attributed to Homer, which are sung the exploits of the beautiful Warrior Achilles in the Trojan war. Peleus is therefore a nickname Achilles to be son of Peleus, King of the myrmidons in Phthia and the nereid Thetis. Homer also calls it at winged foot for his quick career. The legend says that his mother Thetis dipped it in the Stygian to make it invulnerable to holding it by an ankle.
