   In the Iliad and other sources, he fought for the Mycenaeans, which was the dominant Greek city/state at the time — its ruins are on the Peloponnesos peninsula not far from Sparta.
   However, he was also known as the king of the Myrmidons. It is not 100% clear if the Myrmidons were a group of warriors, or if it referred to a specific Greek region or city.

   Well since Achilles was Greek I assume you mean which city-state of Greece he was from.
   Achilles was the son of Peleus, leader of the Myrmidon, from the island of Aegina, so I guess the best answer to your question would be Aegina, Greece.
