The myth of Achilles in Greek mythology tells the story of a hero that was bathed in the River Stix by his mother, who held him by the heels. While the rest of his body became immortal, his heels did not. Later, he was wounded by an arrow in his heel, his only vulnerable spot, and died from that wound.

As an epithet is a descriptive word or phrase that sometimes appear in place of a person's name, an apithet about Achilles would be related to his story and attributes. So the correct passage is "He ceased; a gush of grief began to rise". It mentions his death--"he ceased"--and the gush of grief that also represents his bleeding wound.

From the earliest days of American slavery in the 17th century, slave owners sought to exercise control over their slaves by attempting to strip them of their African culture. The physical isolation and societal marginalization of African slaves and, later, of their free progeny, however, facilitated the retention of significant elements of traditional culture among Africans in the New World generally, and in the United States in particular. Slave owners deliberately tried to repress independent political or cultural organization in order to deal with the many slave rebellions or acts of resistance that took place in the United States, Brazil, Haiti, and the Dutch Guyanas."
