Curiously enough, the Byzantine court historians linked Achilles to the territory of present-day Ukraine. The book “*Royal Scythia, Greece, Kyiv Rus*” has insights about it.
Edit: What IF Ukraine to Greece was in fact the same to what England was to the USA?
Oh, wait, there can be no way to prove this crazy idea! Or can’t there?
I guess “scenes from Achilles myths” would be more correct. The same myths were laid in the basis of the (unfinished) Achilleid, but that really doesn’t matter here.
