Achilles is renowned for his pivotal role in the Trojan War, particularly his slaying of the Trojan prince Hector, which is one of the most significant deeds in Greek mythology. This act was both a personal vendetta for the death of his close friend Patroclus and a crucial moment that turned the tide of the war in favor of the Greeks. Achilles' unparalleled strength and martial skill made him a legendary hero, embodying the themes of honor and revenge in Homer's "Iliad."

Is Achilles related to Alexander the great?

Alexander and Achilles live in different ages.... -Actually they are a bit. Alexander thought of Achilles as a warrior idol. Nothing more nothing less. Achilles is a sort of mythological hero. We can not say for certain that Achilles really was an existing person. He only appears in a few scripts and also in Homer's "Illiad",where he was the main hero of the Trojan war. His exellency in battle and strategy, in addition to his mythological gift of his armor, made him a great hero to the people's minds. Thus Alexander the Great used to compare himself to Achilles and often trying to reach his military greatfulness. ''' '''
