Paris was one of the princes of Troy, specifically the one who stole Helen from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta. This event sparked the Trojan war when Menelaus asked his brother Agamemnon for help getting her back.
Paris is viewed as a weak character, using a bow and avoiding close combat like the major heroes of mythology. This skill, although looked down upon, is used to defeat Achilles, who dies from an arrow through his heel which some accounts say was shot by Paris. He eventually dies in the Trojan war.

∙ 14y agoParis was the Trojan prince. After choosing Aphrodite as the fairest of all goddesses, she promised him any woman he desired. He chose Helen, even though she was already married to the Greek prince, Menelaos. When he abducted her, Menelaos and his country men persue him in an effort to reclaim Helen, causing the Trojan War.
