Achilles in his tent

When a big member of anything refuses to work because of some petty dispute.
Achilles during the Trojan War, in the Illiad:
Agamemnon: BlahblahblahI'm king blahblahblah.
Achilles: Oh my Zeus shut up! *skulks off to tent*
Greeks:*die horribly*

Achilles complex

To have a Achilles complex is to wish or bring about death to those who have seen you at your weakest or have humiliated you in anyway.

A mild complex would just have you hate these peoples very existence but not necessarily wish for their death.

Taken from the character Achilles de Flandres from the popular book " Ender's Shadow" by Orson Scott Card
Someone sees you fail at something, you wait for them to be alone and no one sees the again, as they've seen you at your weakest, and your Achilles Complex has come into play

achilles tendon

The first thing you should go for in a fight! try taking a sharp object and when they lunge at you duck down and slash their achilles tendon wide open. You have won the fight and now have them 100% under your control.
that would really, really hurt but its an effective method.
