Mythical hero, vulnerable only through his heel (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

achilles

(Other definitions for achilles that I've seen before include "Small but fatal weakness" , "Greek hero with vulnerable heel" , "Greek hero who gave his name to a bad heel" , "Warrior of old" , "Legendary Greek with injured heel" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
