The Judgement of Paris
The full names of Paris, Menelaus, and Helen are just Paris, Menelaus, and Helen. Family/last names were not usually used in Ancient Greek times.
Paris was the prince of troy who abducted Helen the queen of Sparta. The story goes that Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera where arguing who was the most beautiful. They asked a mortal man and it was Paris. Aphrodite promised Paris the most beautiful women in the world if he said she was the most beautiful. So he did. And the most beautiful women in the world was Helen.
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.
It all depends on what conflicts you believe exist. The great hero Hector was killed. Paris ends up shooting Achilles, another great hero. Paris ends up dying by Philoctetes hands. Troy was sacked and Helen was dragged home by her husband who was really pissed at her but descides not to punish her. Oh and Odysseus eventually gets home after 20 years but that's an entirely different story.
Her beautiful face was the reason Paris fell in love with her and stole her away from her husband, Menelaus, who was king of Sparta. Menelaus called on his Greek allies to help get her back and their combined fleet sailed for Troy to attack it. Christopher Marlowe wrote the line 'Is this the face that launch'd a thousand ships,/ and burnt the topless towers of Ilium?' (Ilium is another name for Troy,)
Paris was not a goddess - he was a man, a main character in the story of Helen of Sparta.
