I believe it has to do with the three people he cared the most, these being Andromache his wife, his Father Priam and his mother...

One round per person, I remember the two women begging Priam to stop Achilles' madness and him being the last one to see the horrific scene...

This is just my interpretation tho

What is Thetis' reaction after she discovers Achilles has died?

When Achilles was killed by Paris, Thetis came from the sea with the Nereids to mourn him, and she collected his ashes in a golden urn, raised a monument to his memory, and instituted commemorative festivals.Thetis does not need to appeal to Zeus for immortality for her son, but snatches him away to the White Island Leuke in the Black Sea, an alternate Elysium where he has transcended death, and where an Achilles cult lingered into historic times.


How old was Perseus?

It is believed that Perseus was at least 27 years old when she fell in love with the Greek God, Achilles when she got captured and taken to the Greek camp. Perseus got rescued by her cousin, the king of Troy, and taken back with him. When the invasion happened, Achilles was looking for her and she was being held by the King of Greece. She then plunged a knife into his neck thus killing him. When Achilles was there comforting her, Paris saw them and thought Achilles was hurting his cousin, and reached for his arrows. Perseus saw him and screamed, "No! Don't!" but it was too late. The arrow plunged into Achilles' heel, causing him a shock of pain. He was shot three more times in the stomach until he finally went down. Perseus was devastated, but left with Paris. People are saying that Perseus never loved anyone like she loved Achilles, and I, for one, believe that, too. *PLEASE NOTE: I am 11 years old, and I know all this stuff! Mostly from watching 'Troy' over, and over again! :)
