Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… living in a fairy tale. Paris relentlessly woos Helen, wife of the Spartan king Menelaus, and ultimately convinces her to run away with him. Yet somehow it never occurs to the Trojan prince that he might end up sparking a war between Greece and Troy until his older brother Hector brings it up. With the Greeks in hot pursuit, he vows to “die fighting” even though he has never before seen combat.
Personality… idealistic, passionate, silver-tongued, and dewy-eyed. Paris lives according to pre-conceived notions of chivalry, honor, and what sort of man a prince should be. The less he knows, the more he thinks he knows. Aside from his flaws – the flaws of someone who looks like a man but is not yet a man – he is a helluva archer.

In year 1250 B.C. during the late Bronze age, two emerging nations begin to clash. Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy. After Menelaus finds out that his wife was taken by the Trojans, he asks his brother Agamemnom to help him get her back. Agamemnon sees this as an opportunity for power. So they set off with 1,000 ships holding 50,000 Greeks to Troy. With the help of Achilles, the Greeks are able to fight the never before defeated Trojans.
