Achilles' heel is a historical body part acquired by the Professor at an auction. It's a symbol for deadly weaknesses.

Additional info

Trivia

  • The heel we saw in "The Duh-Vinci Code" could have been preserved like many other body parts, such as the head. If this is true, we can assume it was somehow removed from Achilles. It's also possible that the Professor was ripped off, as Achilles is a mythological character.
    • Achilles heel could also refer to the Achilles tendon, in which case it is meant to be Leonardo da Vinci's Achilles heel. As Leonardo was still alive and intact at that point, this is still a rip off.

Quotes

    The Professor: I suppose if I have an Achilles' heel, it's because I bought it at that same auction.
