According to myth, Priam was told by the Delphic oracle that his son Paris would bring disaster upon Troy, hence, he had him sent away to be raised by sheep herders, where the movie gets it wrong is that Paris did not grow up a Prince, and the reason he could not fight is because he never received a Prince's education which included Martial Arts. If the movie was an attempt at historical theory, it failed with Paris; wimpy or no, all ancient princes were taught how to use weapons, if anything, the character Paris should have at least been somewhat competent. In the myth, it is explained he can't fight, because he never learned how, and he could only use a bow and arrow because it was the required tools of a sheepherder meaning he had very good aim from a lifetime of its use, that is why he was able to hit Achille's heel from such a long distance although, the myth says "his arrow was guided by Apollo."
