I always thought the connection between Achilles, Alexander and Augustus was interesting.

I always thought Achilles was a myth. But this account makes it sound like he was a real person. Or at least the tomb was real.

A quick search indicates that the tombs of Achilles and Alexander are lost to time. Augustus was cremated and an altar was erected afterwards at the location and is the only significant feature of the temple that still remains.
