Paris' Bow

The arrow used by Paris during the Siege of Troy that slayed Achilles in battle.

1000 BCE
During the Siege of Troy, the Prince of Troyo Hector and Achilles of he Achaneans engaged in single combat. Achilles eventualy slayed Hector for murderering his cousin Patroclus, and bolstered his body like a trophey rather than honoring him. Paris, in anger, fired an arrow at Achilles and hit a soft spot in his armor, the heel. Achilles then died, most likely from infection or blood loss.
