No. As Homer (possibly not even one person) was the author* of The Iliad and Achilles is a character in the poem (or if he was a real person, his character would have probably been sourced from many different people and exaggerated.. The Iliad was written down by Homer in the 8th Century BCE (although Homer's birth date is disputed) and the fall of Troy is told to have been around the dates of 1330s-1130s BCE.

*Homer is credited as being the author of the Iliad, when in fact he only wrote it down. He did not make up the story, it had been around for years before Homer.
