When was Archilles of Sparta was born and when did he die?

First: Achilles was not from Sparta. You are probably making an assumption because of the movie 300 and the stories of how powerful the Spartans were as warriors. Truth is, in Achilles time, the fiercest warriors in the world were the Myrmidons. Achilles was born on the island of Aegina, of which his father Peleus was king. He was killed by Paris while trying to scale the walls of Troy. Because he was a mythological figure, no dates are ever given for his birth or death.
