The two heroes could hardly be more different.

Achilles is obsessed with his personal glory. In the Iliad he quarrels with Agamemnon, and withdraws his army from the Greek force. Achilles doesn't care if the war is lost - his own needs and desires come before everything else.

Aeneas spends the entire poem submitting to the will of the gods. (This is why Aeneas is always called pius 'pious'). Aeneas wants to stay with Dido and live happily ever after, but the will of the gods is that Rome needs to be founded. Aeneas has a job to do.

During the fall of Troy Aeneas has the chance to kill Helen, and wants to. But he is warned not to by his mother Aphrodite (Venus). So Aeneas does what fate wants, not what he wants.
