It could be revenge (as well as a part of the Trojan war) as Achilles the father of Neoptolemus was killed in the war with Troy by Paris the son of Priam.

Priam's death is graphically related in Book II of Virgil's Aeneid. In Virgil's description, Neoptolemus first kills Priam's son Polites in front of his father as he seeks sanctuary on the altar of Zeus. Priam rebukes Neoptolemus, throwing a spear at him, harmlessly hitting his shield. Neoptolemus then drags Priam to the altar and there kills him too.
