Part 8 discussion
Paris (aka Alexander) is an interesting hero. He is the youngest prince of Troy and highly favoured by Aphrodite for his looks as well as for his winning vote in the beauty contest. This young prince also expresses many of the same characteristics as Aphrodite, including fickleness, a love of beauty, a certain selfcentred selfishness of character and living for the moment. Paris is the central cause of the Trojan War; his actions eventually caused the deaths of thousands of men, women and children as well as the destruction of the kingdom of Troy. Was Paris, however, completely to blame?
Did the usual mix of heroic code, divine intervention, fate and fatal flaw enter into the tale?
