Pallas (Titan)
titanPallas was the Titan god of warcraft and battle — father of Nike (Victory) and the patron of warriors.
The Myth
Pallas married the Oceanid Styx and fathered Nike (Victory), Kratos (Power), Bia (Force), and Zelus (Zeal). These four personified the qualities needed in war. In the Titanomachy, Athena killed Pallas and flayed him, wearing his skin as a trophy — one origin of the epithet Pallas Athena. His name may mean "brandisher" (of the spear). He is distinct from several other mythological figures named Pallas.
