Herakles. It's not even close.
Levi Miller
My money's on Herk. They're both warrior-heroes, but big H is legit a demigod.
Also, there's morale to consider. Achilles spends most of his time sulking in his tent. Herc spends most of his time performing the mightiest deeds in history.
Levi Brooks
I'd say it depends on the weapons used.
Herakles is pretty much all brute strength, while Achilles is fleet footed and agile. If they both had spears, id maybe give it to Achilles, but if it came down to raw strength (unarmed, clubs, etc) id definitely give it to Herakles

Achilles' main strength is that he can't be harmed by mortal weapons. Neither could the Nymean lion.
Guess what Herakles uses as a coat when its chilly outside?
Alexander Nguyen
Herakles takes it.
Adam Ross
Herakles wipes his ass with Achilles' dainty face and doesn't even bother to jot it down on his list of feats.
Julian Harris
Achilles' main strength was that he was the greatest fighter of all the Argives, able to single-handedly turn the tide of any battle he took part in. He certainly wasn't coasting on his invincibility: he'd be a terrifying warrior even without it.
I think I'd give the win to Achilles, actually. Achilles has both strength and skill, while Herakles is all strength.

Herakles won many of his victories with brains and planning. He’s way smarter than many give credit.
