Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand

 


Slow days on the blog, I suppose. Struggling with sleep and lethargy lately. Hopefully some Zeppelin will do the trick.

For anyone keeping score at home, this is my favorite Led Zeppelin song.

All authoritative sources says this is "Achilles Last Stand" with no apostrophe. I did a preliminary search to find out why, I found nothing. Achilles is the name of a man, he had a last stand, his name ends with an "S" so this should be "Achilles' Last Stand"... surely? Those rockers and their thumbing their nose at grammar. Actually, there's a part in the documentary "The Beatles: Get Back" where George Harrison is wondering if his lyrics are grammatically correct. He's one of the good ones though.
