   Homer, in his "Illiad", usually refers to the son of Priam and Hecuba who   
   abducted Helen as Alexandros, although he is also called Paris.  The   
   character is also called Alexandros by Sophocles and by Euripides in their   
   respective plays.   
      
   According to Homer, Priam's principal wife was Hecuba, although he had   
   other wives and concubines.  In total he had fifty sons (Illiad 24.495)   
   including Hector, Paris (Alexandros), Deiphobus, Helenus, Troilus,   
   Polydorus and Lycaon.  Also daughters, of whom Homer only mentions   
   Cassandra.
