Yes he is real, in Greek , Achilles was a Greek hero of the Trojan War, the central character and the greatest warrior of Homer's Iliad.
--Achilles was a real person.Agamemnon was also believed to be a mythical figure until Heinrich Schliemann found the tomb grave of Atreus (father of Agamemnon)in 1876!Troy was also believed to be a mythical city until it was discovered in 1870(also by Heinrich Schliemann)!Molossos was the grandchild of Achilles,as he was the son of Neoptolemus,(and Neoptolemus was the son of Achilles) and his mother was Andromache,who was Hector's wife.Molossians became a big greek tribe.Olympias (mother of Alexander the Great) was a molossian,so Alexander the Great was actually a descendant from Achilles (because of his mother).Just for the record,Alexander the Great was also a descendant from Hercules, because his father,Philip,was a (far) descendant from Perdikkas,who was son of Timenos and great-great-grandson of Hercules!Alexander the Great visited Troy,which had become a little village at his time,and HE CROWNED THE GRAVE OF ACHILLES!!!And he speaked to Achilles,in front of the grave,and said that he was really lucky because a great poet (Homer) came to perpetuate his achievements...
--Whether or not Achilles was real is often debated. The best available proof pointing toward his existence is that Alexander the Great allegedly took his shield from Achilles' tomb, though the tomb has not been found.
