Book 22: Zeus places the scales when Achilles is chasing Hector and they tip on Hector's side showing he is fated to die.
Book 1: Thetis talks about how Achilles is doomed to a short life; he is fated to live a short, memorable life or a long, unimportant life. This is mentioned again in Book 9.
Book 16: Achilles warns Patroclus about going too close to the walls when fighting; his death is fated as he goes too close.
Book 9: The story of Meleager Phoenix tells Achilles shows what Achilles' life is fated to be like if he doesn't change his behaviour
Book 18: Polydamas warns Hector about returning to the battlefield now Achilles has returned, trying to delay Hector's fated death as a result of Achilles.
