Answer:

Explanation:

It is a literary reference coming from Homer (I think). He , when born, was dipped in the River Styx making him very hard to kill. His mother was hanging on to his heel when she dipped him in the water. He was later killed by an arrow that hit him in that exposed heel by Paris. You can look all this up.

It means that the speaker in your sentence had an almost fatal weakness.
