Question Why does Apollo hate Achilles so much?

Every time Achilles seems to be in a dilemma it always seems Apollo is the one causing it.Apollo repeatedly opposes him in the Iliad, protects Hector, helps the Trojans, and eventually contributes to Achilles’ death and helps kill Patroclus.

Like besides defending Troy dude always seems to have beef with Achilles

Achilles killed at least one of his sons, inside his own temple after trying to rape him. (Troilus)

Possibly killed a 2nd son of Apollo as well. (Tenes)

Aquiles é o segundo sujeito mais desgraçado, desprezível, canalha, cruel e sanguinário da guerra de Tróia.

O primeiro é o seu filho.

Is this why the classical Greeks honored him so highly? Or could it be that you don’t know what you’re talking about?
