    His shield was really fancy, to be fair. The main lesson is that when you dip your baby in invincibility juice you need to swap the ankle you’re holding them by and dip again.

      Eh, just wait for the hair to grow out, then hold the baby by the hair, dip it, then you shave the hair off.

      Boom, done.

        They all lived on islands. Surely they had fishing nets close by? Put baby in a net, dip and strain like baby is some freshly cooked noodle.

      Why not dip your hand in the water also? What was the issue with doing that?

          Could’ve just tossed his ass in, he’d be invincible, he’d manage…

            Oh no, those are exactly the kind of twists the ancient Greeks loved: invincible doesnt mean unable to drown.

        I think it was actually that you wouldn’t be harmed, but by being fully submerged, it would kill the person going in.

      Or just hold him upright and dip both his feet in the water first before flipping him upside down to flip again.

      Main lesson is put the shield on the heel.

      But wouldn’t that double the invincibility and cancel out so you get a guy that can be harmed everywhere except the heel?

        Ok, so you dip them, switch heels and dip again, then hold both and dip again. Then you get full coverage.

        Sure, just throw your baby in a bath of blood, what could go wrong?

          Babies float and naturally hold their breath. Just grab them before they get upset and you’ll be fine.
