Achilles was worshiped in ancient Greece primarily as a heroic figure and a demigod, especially in his homeland of Phthia and at the site of his tomb on the island of Skyros. He was honored through various rituals, such as sacrifices and games, particularly during the Panhellenic festivals like the Olympic Games, where competitors would often invoke his name for glory. Additionally, in literature and art, his legacy was celebrated, reflecting his status as a model of heroic virtue and martial prowess. Temples dedicated to him also emerged, reinforcing his significance in the Greek pantheon.
