In theory of Chinese foot massage, each part of foot is said to be linked
to some internal organ so that massaging the particular area of foot can
stimulate the linked organ. Excessive pain during massage is explained that
the linked organ is out of order.
Now, the area around Achilles sinew (just above the heel, where Achilles
was presumably wounded) is linked to sexual glands... Probably, strong
Achilles was not that healthy and the Minos brazen man died not exactly of
bleeding...
