Which Trojan prince abducted Helen?

The story behind the answer

Paris is the correct answer because, according to Greek myth, the Trojan prince (son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba) abducted—or eloped with—Helen of Sparta, the wife of Menelaus. This act, promised to Paris by Aphrodite after he judged her the “fairest” in the Judgment of Paris, sparked the Greek expedition to Troy and the ensuing Trojan War.

To remember: Paris picked Aphrodite and got the prettiest prize—Helen—provoking war. Don’t confuse him with Hector (his heroic brother), Aeneas (a Trojan who later escapes to found a lineage leading to Rome), or Priam (the king of Troy and Paris’s father). Paris is the lover, not the leader or the fighter.
