Final answer:

Paris's father received a prophecy about his son, which led to Paris being raised as a shepherd instead of living as a prince.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paris's father received a prophecy that his son would cause the destruction of Troy. As a result, Paris was abandoned as a baby and raised by a shepherd. He was working as a shepherd instead of living as a prince in order to protect him from fulfilling the prophecy and causing harm to his city.
