"Fortune hath not one place to hit me" Meaning! I'm confused by these two words "hath" "Achilles". What do they mean? This is the full quote: "I am the happiest man alive. I have that in me that can convert poverty into riches, adversity to prosperity, and I am more invulnerable than Achilles; fortune hath not one place to hit me." Sir Thomas Browne

Achilles is a person in the story. "Hath" is an older, deprecated word for "Has." "Fortune has not one place to hit me."

Achilles was a mythological figure; he could not be hurt unless you hit him on the back of the ankle. If you hit him anywhere else, he would be fine. This person is saying that they'll be fine no matter where they're hit.
