Heracles was definitely stronger than Achilles,because he is considered as the strongest man of antiquity. However, Achilles is considered as the greatest warrior of antiquity, which is why he was surrounded by the myth that he was invulnerable in all the parts of his body except his heels. The meaning of this myth is that he was such a skilled fighter that only an attack from behind ("on his heels") could result in victory over him. Achilles was the strongest man of his generation and one of the strongest men of antiquity, but not the strongest. When it comes to physical strength, Heracles is unmatched.
