Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for their Life Insurance. There is a drawing of a Mony salesman talking to Achilles about a policy. The salesman discusses how a policy will help him in time of need and Achilles responds that “My mom gave me FULL coverage”. The text of the ad narrates the conversation that the two of them had and ends with Achilles claiming that he is “invulnerable, completely”. The editor’s note at the end of the ad reminds how the story really ends, how his mother forgot to dip his complete body in the river Styx, not covering the heel that she was holding. This allowed Paris to wing him there with a poisoned arrow.
