Pallas is a Titan associated with war. His family tree is disputed. Most sources indicate that he was the son of Crius and Eurybia, the brother of Astraeus and Perses, and the husband of Styx. He was the father of Zelus, Nike, Cratos, and Bia [1]. In addition he has been named as the father Scylla, Fontes, and Lacus. [2] Alternatively, he was the son of Megamedes, and father of Selene [3], and is also recorded as the father of Eos. [4]. The city Pellene, Achaea was named after Pallas. [5]
