Difference between Achilles and Second Greek colonisation

Achilles vs. Second Greek colonisation

In Greek mythology, Achilles or Achilleus (Ἀχιλλεύς, Achilleus) was a Greek hero of the Trojan War and the central character and greatest warrior of Homer's Iliad. The Second Greek colonisation was an organized colonial expansion by the Archaic Greeks into the Mediterranean Sea and Pontus in the period of the 8th–6th centuries B.C. This colonisation differed from the First Greek colonisation in that it consisted of organized direction by the originating metropolis instead of the simple movement of tribes which characterized the first colonisation.
