Where is Achilles' tomb?
Achilles was cremated and his ashes were entombed with those of his best friend, Patroclus. Since they died at Troy, they would have been interred nearby, and during the time of Alexander the Great, (which, mind you was 800 years later), the mound of Kesik Tepe was regarded by many to be the tomb of Achilles and Patroclus. However, there was no actual evidence of this then or now. It's important to remember that the events of the Trojan War were recounted some 400 years after they occurred, and while Achilles could very well have been a real person, much of what we "know" about him is mythic, meaning that the Achilles we know may not have existed at all. His name, like those of the gods, has an etymological structure that mirrors his role in the Trojan War. His name means "the grief of the people" and as King Myrmidons, and central figure of the Iliad (which is generally regarded as a sad tale), that makes sense, grief and glory being the two major themes of the Iliad. -Indiriel ________________ His Tomb Has Not Been Found Yet But Is Rumored To Be In Osmuncik District Of Corum In Turkey (Modern Day Troy).

Why is Paris from greek mythology important?
Paris was indicative of how Greeks viewed people from other cultures. He was cowardly, dishonorable (he was a thief in the sense that he "stole" Helen) and relied on others to do his fighting for him. And even though he shot the arrow that felled Achilles, the arrow was guided by Apollo. Even that is an indication of his cowardice (comparing him to Hector, who at least faced Achilles in combat).

What does the following phrase mean mean your only weakness is in your Achilles' Heel?
The question doesn't make sense because it's stating the obvious. The term 'Achilles' heel' refers to a person in Greek Mythology who was the son of an immortal nymph who tried to make him immortal by dipping him in the river Styx. She forgot to wet the heel she held him by, thus making him immortal, all but his heel. So when we refer to someone's 'Achilles' heel' we are referring to their weak spot. So the question doesn't make sense because one's 'Achilles' heel' is one's only weakness so it's an obvious question.

How does hector react when Priam tells him not to face Achilles?
Hector doesn't heed King Priam's words. He felt a sense of duty to protect his home and his family. When the Greeks reach the walls of Troy, Hector goes into battle with Achilles--knowing that his wrath could not be subsided by words of kindness and forgiveness. Because he lead the Trojans, Achilles felt that it was his fault that the Greeks prematurely won the war.
