Although the death of Achilles was predicted by Hector in Homer’s "Iliad", it does not actually occur in the "Iliad", but is described in later Greek and Roman poetry and drama concerning events after the "Iliad", later in the Trojan War. In the myths surrounding the war, Achilles was said to have died from a wound to his heel, ankle, or torso, which was the result of an arrow—possibly poisoned—shot by Paris.
