Pallas (Titan)

In Greek mythology, Pallas was, according to Hesiod, the son of the Titans Crius and Eurybia, the brother of Astraeus and Perses, the husband of Styx, and the father of Zelus, Nike, Kratos, and Bia. Hyginus says that Pallas, whom he calls "the giant", also fathered Scylla, Fontus, and Lacus with Styx. Pallas was sometimes regarded as the Titan god of warcraft and of the springtime campaign season.

The Homeric Hymn "To Hermes" makes the moon goddess Selene (usually the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia), the daughter of a Pallas, son of (an otherwise unknown) Megamedes, which is possibly the same as this Pallas. Ovid uses the patronymic "Pallantias" or "Pallantis" as another name for Aurora, the Roman equivalent of the Greek Eos, who was the sister of Selene; Ovid apparently regarding Aurora (or Eos) as the daughter of (or otherwise related to) Pallas.
