He was the prince of Troy, as in the story of the Illiad. After giving the golden apple of beauty to Aphrodite, goddess of beauty/love, he was transformed into Menelaus, king of Sparta/ husband of Helen of Sparta, and kidnapped Helen, which started the war of Troy. Later he shot Achilles in the heel with a posion arrow. (Achilles is invicible except in the heel) I forget why but Paris died outside of Troy in a forest. (Also, unlike the movie "Troy" Helen never loved Paris.)
