In many other versions, Apollo didn't aid Paris. Rather Paris killed Achilles on his own and in the most cowardly time. It was said that sometime after Achilles returned the body, he was gathering the bodies of some of the Greek soldiers killed in their most recent battle. At that moment, Paris realized that Achilles was unarmed and at his weakest so he shot a poisoned arrow that hit his heel and killed Achilles right on the spot in revenge for the loss of his brother Hector.

According to the Odyssey no. At one part Odysseus went to the Gates of Hades and got to speak with Achilles' ghost; Odysseus greeted him and said pretty much what you said. Achilles responded with something along the lines of: "Spare me your praise of glorious death. Put me again in the land of the living and I'd rather be a serf than prince over all these departed souls."

Part of me, if Achilles actually existed, wants us to find his burial. As it was written that Alexander the Great paid homage to it on his conquest east. The other part of me wants it to stay a mystery. I'd bet it's location was in the Library of Alexandria that was unfortunately lost to time. Maybe some things are best left a mystery but you gotta wonder what info/knowledge we could have gained from that not being burned away.

Actually Achilles was scaling the walls of Troy, that time Paris standing at the sacean gate took aim, with firing his arrow, with the divine intervention of Apollo, who helped guide the arrow to hit its mark and pierce Achilles heel. Achilles immediately fell to the ground fatally wounded, that was the time Paris told his fleeing Trojan soldiers to go out and plunder and mutilate Achilles body, but menelaus and Odysseus arrived in time driving away the trojans rescuing the fatally injured Achilles and fleeing back to the camps, where Achilles died a painful death in the arms of Odysseus.
