The city of Paris, France, isn't named for the Trojan prince. It was named for the tribe of people who lived in the region, called the Parisii.

Who was Paris in the Trojan war?

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.


Who were the 2 sides in the Trojan war?

The two sides in the Trojan War were the Greeks (Achaeans) and the Trojans. The Greeks, led by King Agamemnon and notable heroes like Achilles and Odysseus, sought to retrieve Helen, who had been taken by Paris, a prince of Troy. The Trojans, defending their city, were led by King Priam and included notable figures like Hector. The conflict, central to Homer's epics, ultimately resulted in the fall of Troy.
