‘It is a wonderful idea!’ said Priam. ‘... You’re a good boy Paris, and I bless the day you were restored to us.’
But Paris was not a good boy. He had no intention of sailing to Salamis to negotiate the return of some old aunt for whom he cared nothing. What was Hesione to him, or him to Hesione? Aphrodite had whispered his true destination. Sparta and the promised Helen.
No, Paris was not a good boy.
