About Paris

Act 1

You hand me this apple and the most beautiful woman in the world will be yours. The young shepherd, who happened to be a son and grandson of kings, was fascinated. You don’t get to hear promises such as this everyday from the Goddess of Beauty herself. Without giving it a second thought, he gave Aphrodite the apple.

Act 2

Paris arrives at Menelaos’ palace in Sparta, where he meets the most beautiful woman in the world. Helene. Aphrodite had forgotten to mention that she was somebody else’s. Paris, brazenly kidnaps the Queen and leads her to his father’s palace in Troy.

Act 3

The whole of Greece goes after him to wash the insult away. For ten whole years a mighty war is fought under the walls of Troy. During this time, the ex-shepherd, now prince, proudly shows off his sweetheart on top of the castle walls, causing the envy of his friends and rage of his enemies.

Act 4

The islanders in Lemnos, Imvros, Tennedos, and even Lesbos turn an amazed eye towards the eastern sky. Red, yellow and orange glazes light up the night; Troy is on fire. Queen Hecube of Troy remembers the night before Paris was born. She dreamed that she gave birth to a flaming torch, that burned down the whole of Troy.

Who said that dreams lie, oh Queen, and even if you tried to fool them by turning a prince into a shepherd, you should by now know that princes will always be princes and not shepherds.

Original Text by: C. Kallintzi.

Note: Paris, is depicted in the uniform of a Skythian Archer. The same uniform and colours are the ones used in the statue of Paris from the Temple of Athena Aphaia in the island of Aegina near Athens (circa 510-500 BC).
