In the movie Troy (2004) Akhilleus (Brad Pitt) wears an armor and yet Akhilleus is supposedly invulnerable (except his heel). I mean fuck the shield, he could have used his testicles as a shield, his dick as a sword stopper and his ass as a projectile bouncer.
But the answer is that Homer didn't consider Akhilleus to be invulnerable.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
