Achilles was born circa 1200 BC. This conjecture is based on entries regarding the Trojan War, where Achilles was one of the great Greek heroes. Trojan War, in Greek mythology, war between the Greeks and the people of Troy. The strife began after the Trojan prince Paris abducted Helen, wife of Menelaus of Sparta. When Menelaus demanded her return, the Trojans refused. Menelaus then persuaded his brother Agamemnon to lead an army against Troy. At Aulis, troopships gathered, led by the greatest Greek heroes—Achilles, Patroclus, Diomed, Odysseus, Nestor, and the two warriors named Ajax. The events of the final year of the war constitute the main part of the Iliad of Homer. The Trojan War probably reflected a real war (c.1200 B.C.) between the invading Greeks and the people of Troas, possibly over control of trade through the Dardanelles.

The war happened at about 1180 B.C. Omiros wrote this poem at the 8th century B.C. and the war lasted 10 years. When gathered at Aulis the wind wouldn't blow. Poseidon wanted Ifigeneia (daughter of Agamemnon) to be sacrifised. When she was about to die Artemis took her away.
