To truly grasp how humiliating this is, you must understand that Paris kind of sucks, and everyone and their grandmother knows it. \u201cOh, you mean Paris?\u201d people are constantly saying in Homer&#8217;s epic. \u201cThe coward who can\u2019t do anything? Sure, that rings a bell.\u201d When Paris challenges Menelaus to single combat, the prince first tries to run away. Then when he loses the battle and is about to be killed, Aphrodite has to step in and save him. Furthermore, Paris\u2019s weapon of choice is a bow and arrow\u2014the coward\u2019s way out. Who would actually choose to SHOOT AN ARROW from a SAFE DISTANCE when they could RUN SOMEONE THROUGH with a SWORD like a MAN?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So on the one hand, you\u2019ve got Achilles, a guy who has murdered more men than you or I will ever make eye contact with. On the other hand, you\u2019ve got Paris, who has run screaming in the opposite direction from more battles than he\u2019s won. And yet Paris (with help from Apollo) is the one to bring down the great and powerful Achilles. Talk about mortifying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Achilles in the&nbsp;Iliad Achilles is the greatest warrior the Greeks have to offer, yet in the&nbsp;Iliad&nbsp;he gets murdered by Paris, a cowardly Trojan prince.
