I mean fuck the shield, he could have used his testicles as a shield, his dick as a sword stopper and his ass as a projectile bouncer.
But the answer is that Homer didn't consider Akhilleus to be invulnerable.
He didn’t indeed. The first hard reference to Achilles’ invulnerability is from the 1st Century CE.
I think (could be wrong, it’s a long time since I’ve read it), Homer makes at least one reference to Achilles being wounded.
