Achilles' last name is not commonly known because in Greek mythology, he is typically referred to simply as "Achilles." However, his patronymic last name is "Pelides" or "Peleus," indicating that he is the son of the mortal hero Peleus and the sea nymph Thetis. This patronymic naming convention was common in ancient Greek culture to identify individuals based on their lineage.
