Abstract
Abstract Various medical terms are rooted in Greek in Roman mythology. The names of mythological figures such as Aphrodite, Hygeia, Morpheus, Narcissus, Priapus, or Thanatos, to name just a few, gave birth to terms such as aphrodisiac, hygiene, morphine, narcissism, priapism, thanatology. Achilles heel is derived from the myth of Achilles, in common language referring to one’s physical vulnerability. This paper investigates a small corpus of medical articles in order to identify collocations built with the name of the mythological figure of Achilles.
