The poet Arctinus in his Aethiopis took up the story of the Iliad and related that Achilles, having slain the Ethiopian king Memnon and the Amazon Penthesilea, was himself slain in battle by Priam’s son Paris, whose arrow was guided by Apollo. It makes no mention of the death of Achilles, though the Odyssey mentions his funeral.
The Iliad concludes with the funeral rites of Hector. After dragging Hector’s body behind his chariot, Achilles gave it to Priam at his earnest entreaty.
