Achilles was killed by Paris or Apoll (two different versions). He was the archnemesis of Hector, but Hector wasn't his archnemesis...

Paris was small and weak, not a warrior at all. Apollo, who was a god, guided his hand to shoot a poisoned arrow into Achilles' heel. Hector was the best fighter in Troy and Achilles was the best fighter for the Greeks.

Achilles' archnemesis was his own vanity. Not even Hector was a match for him. But his arrogance displeased the gods.

Yep Achilles was so wrapped up in himself I don't think he had time for an archnemesis. It should be the other way round, that Hector's archnemesis is Achilles.

from what I heard, Achilles got shot in the heel, the only non-invincible part of his body (because he was dipped in the river styx) and he got shot by a Trojan warrior there.

He was shot by Paris, brother of Hector, but Paris just got lucky he was no warrior.

You could also say that his archnemesis was Agamemnon, who took away Briseis, Achilles' concubine, causing Achilles to sulk in his tent rather than fight the Trojans. But Hector is a better answer.

While the Joker was certainly Batman's most famous enemy, he really has many that could be considered archenemies.

Batman may have a lot of memorable villains but the Joker is the one that has caused more pain and suffering to the Batman family and Gotham City more times than any other villain ever did, such as crippling Batgirl or beating Robin to death with a crowbar. He also turned the entire city of Gotham into zombies, blew up a school full of children, devoured basically all of China, and even tricked Superman into destroying Metropolis. No other criminal has the same insanely chaotic method of behavior like the Joker.
