Paris was the son of Priam and Hecuba. Before his birth Priam had a dream in which he foresaw that Paris would bring Troy to destruction so he gave him to a slave Agelaus to expose him on Mr Ida. It appears that a bear nursed him for five days. Then he was found by a shepherd who brought him up as his son. There maybe a different account of this in Helen of Troy. Anyway hope that this assists someway.
