Achilles Last Stand has no obvious reference to the legend of Troy and Achilles (the hero who could only die when hit in the ankle), except that when Robert Plant heard the song, allegedly, he fell out of his chair (he had previously broken his ankle in a car crash). I'm assuming the lyrics don't have any deep, soul searching meaning, but they are very good all the same.

I think that Achilles Last Stand is about emigrating to America but, more specifcally, the search for the American Dream. What Led Zeppelin is trying to say is that all these people are coming to America in search of the American Dream, but that this Dream really has nothing to do with a physical place. You can achieve it anywhere. Specifically, they metion Albion (England), saying that it will rise again. Also, they talk about the past in whatever country you're coming from and how it really wasn't that bad. In other words, things come and go and change. You can achieve hapiness (the true American Dream) anywhere you are if you just know how to look.
