Paris is a character from the Greek poem "The Odyssey." In the poem, Paris did survive an early attempt on his life. He survived the fight against Menelaus which could of killed him. Paris was indeed raised by a servant and went on to become a shepherd himself on Mount Ida. Paris was not one of the only mortals to go to Mount Olympus. It is also true that a seer prophesized that his birth would lead to the downfall of Troy. Aesacus interpreted a dream Paris's mother had about giving birth to a flaming torch and declared this was the person who would bring down Troy. Many people interpret that it was Paris who killed Achilles with help from Apollo, however, it is also said that the killer was Apollo disguised as Paris. it is up to your interpretation. Sadly, Paris did not survive the Trojan war. He was killed later on in the war by Philoctetes. His ex wife was begged to heal him, however, she refused and he died from his wounds later in the day in great pain.
