    His shield was really fancy, to be fair. The main lesson is that when you dip your baby in invincibility juice you need to swap the ankle you’re holding them by and dip again.

      Eh, just wait for the hair to grow out, then hold the baby by the hair, dip it, then you shave the hair off.

      Boom, done.

        They all lived on islands. Surely they had fishing nets close by? Put baby in a net, dip and strain like baby is some freshly cooked noodle.

      Why not dip your hand in the water also? What was the issue with doing that?

            Oh no, those are exactly the kind of twists the ancient Greeks loved: invincible doesnt mean unable to drown.

      Or just hold him upright and dip both his feet in the water first before flipping him upside down to flip again.

      Main lesson is put the shield on the heel.

      But wouldn’t that double the invincibility and cancel out so you get a guy that can be harmed everywhere except the heel?

        Ok, so you dip them, switch heels and dip again, then hold both and dip again. Then you get full coverage.

    We saw that the Nazisraeli system can be overwhelmed by quantity- and guess who’s one of the foremost producers of drones in the region? Why it’s ole’ Türkiye, Greece’s archnemesis! Achilles Shield is right, lol

      In case anyone thinks “archnemesis” is a hyperbole.

        Considering Turkey carried out a genocide on the Greek people of Asia Minor I would hope nobody doubts that.

    Technically true: the success rate of hitting missiles with missiles will never be 100%. And even if the defender is successful he will have lost at least 2 missiles for each one incoming. Which is a win for the attacker.

    The name is quite fitting.
