Paris the son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy, appears in a number of Greek legends.
Of these appearances, probably the best known was the elopement with Helen, queen of Sparta, this being one of the immediate causes of the Trojan War. Later in the war, he fatally wounds Achilles in the heel with an arrow as foretold by Achilles’s mother, Thetis.
The name Paris is probably of Luwian origin, and comparable to Pari-zitis, attested as a Hittite scribe’s name.The name Paris is etymologically unrelated to the name of the French city of Paris, which derives its name from a Gaulish tribe called the Parisii.
