An allusion is a figure of speech that makes a reference to a well-known person, place, event, literary work or myth. In the phrase "Mathematics is my Achilles' heel," there is a reference to Achilles, a Greek mythological hero who had only one weakness—his heel. This suggests that mathematics is the speaker’s main weakness.
