Achilles dies in the Iliad by being shot in the heel, his only vulnerable spot, by Paris. This event is significant because it fulfills a prophecy and symbolizes the mortality of even the greatest heroes. It also marks the end of the Trojan War and highlights the themes of fate and hubris in the epic.
