The wedding of Thetis and the Greek hero Peleus is one of the precipitating events of the Trojan war. Thetis did not want to marry Peleus. Proteus advised him to grab Thetis when she was asleep and bind her tightly to keep her from escaping by changing forms. She did shift shapes, becoming flame, water, a lioness, and a serpent. Peleus held fast. Subdued, Thetis consented to marry him. Achilles was born from their union.
