Thetis.

Thetis (Θέτις) was a nymph and a goddess in Greek mythology. Her parents were Nereus and Doris. Or maybe she was a daughter of centaur Chiorn.

She was known as the wife of Peleus and mother of Achilles. Peleus and Thetis had a great wedding. Later the Trojan War started.

Thetis wanted to protect her son. She dipped Achilles in river Styx. But Thetis forgot about his heel. She held his heel.

Also, Thetis had relationships with other gods and goddesses. Themis, Dionysus, Hera, centaur Chiron, and Zeus. Some of them predicted early death of Achilles.

During the Trojan War Achilles was killed by Paris. 

This legend became popular in mythology.

There are many paintings and statues about this goddess.
