Talk:Paris (mythology)

message: I've always know it that it was Paris who begged to be taken to Oenone. Edith Hamilton's Mythology supports this. She writes:
"...Paris begged to be carried to Oenone, the nymph he had lived with on Mount Ida before the three godesses came to him. She had told him that she knew a magic drug to cure any ailment. They took him to her and he asked her for his life, but she refused." (From the Fall of Troy chapter)
I'm not sure if there is another source which says that Helen had involvement, like this article says. Does anyone have the source for that particular part? Has anyone heard this particular version of the story before? If not, I think a fix up of this section might be in order. Are there any objections to this? I will gladly volunteer to do the appropriate changes if everyone is in agreement. Thanks,--France3470 20:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there another source at all for the story about Paris awarding Ares a crown at the end of the childhood section?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.235.11.224 (talk) 11:40, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Ares Story 

message: 1. "it is speculated that in order to hit Achilles, he hit him from behind. Tradition holds that Paris killed Achilles later in the war. Many accounts attribute it to an arrow guided by Apollo."
Would it be possible to add some sources for these two accounts?
2. "The story was also made into a musical, Paris Prince of Troy, written by Jon English and David Mackay." What story? Let's be more specific with that entry.

:Paris's second attempt at combat is equally faced: rather than engage the Greek hero Diomedes in hand-to-hand combat, Paris wounds Diomedes with an arrow through the foot.
"Melee combat" in the sense of hand-to-hand fighting is from role-playing games. In the real world, "melee" is the incorrect word to use here as it cannot apply to single combat or any sort of organized fighting.

message: The last sentence in the 2nd paragraph of Paris's Childhood says "When Paris later left [Oenone] for Helen she told him that if he ever was wounded, he should come to her for she could heal any injury, even the most serious wounds." This is unsourced and jibes with Oenone's article and the 4th paragraph of Paris and the Trojan War, both of which say she refused to heal him later. Could someone remove this sentence? (Also, it would be nice if someone could specify that she was his first wife, not just a lover). 66.229.133.209 (talk) 02:51, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 29 April 2018 

message: 1. "The herdsman, unable to use a weapon against the infant, left him exposed on Mount Ida".
Mount Ida can be the one in Crete or the one in Anatolia. The text should be clear which one it is and the link should point to the right place (there is a link for both mountains).
2. "Hecuba was also unable to kill the child, despite the urging of the priestess of Apollo, one Herophile".
Herophile points to Sibyl. However, it's not clear what Herophile means in this context since it appears to be the name of a Sybil so that "one" doesn't make sense.
3. What source uses the word "kallisti", mentions Zeus's refusal to arbitrate, the three goddesses initially bathing and then approaching Paris with his cattle?
Pseudo-Apollodorus (Bibliotheca, E. 3.2) and Hyginus (Fabulae 92) do not mention any of the above.
4. I would like to see original sources for the undressing of the goddesses as a wish of Paris or on their own accord.
5. "Hera offered ownership of all of Europe and Asia".
This is not true. Hera promises "kingdom over all men" (Pseudo-Apollodorus) and says "he would be king of all the lands and surpass everyone else in riches" (Hyginus).
6. "according to some accounts, she fell in love with Paris and left willingly".
What are the accounts/sources?
7. "Later, after slaying Hector and other heroes, Achilles dies by an arrow of Paris with Apollo's help".
What source says Paris got Apollo's help?
8. "Later in the war, after Philoctetes mortally wounds Paris, Helen makes her way to Mount Ida".
Is it Mount Ida in Crete or Anatolia? It should be clarified and the link updated to go to the right place (again, there is a link for both mountains).
9. "In another version, Paris himself, in great pain, visits Oenone to plead for healing but is refused and dies on the mountainside".
What is the version? Is it according to Quintus Smyrnaeus?
10. The article first states "When Paris later left her [Oenone] for Helen, she told him that if he ever was wounded, he should come to her, for she could heal any injury, even the most serious wound." Then the article says "Still bitter that Paris had spurned her for his birthright in the city and then forgotten her for Helen, Oenone refuses [to heal him]".
There seems to be a contradition or a change of mind on the side of Oenone.
