Changes

Compared to his older brother [[Hector]], Paris was not adept in hand-to-hand combat; preferring his bow and arrow. In an early duel with Menelaus to settle the dispute, Paris is defeated but escapes through the intervention of Aphrodite. His brother Hector was later illed in combat by the greatest of the Greek warriors, [[Achilles]], but despite his poor combat skills it is Paris who eventually kills Achilles with an arrow to his only vulnerable spot - his heel. Before the end of the war, Paris is himself killed by an arrow.
