Pallas, son of Crius and Eurybia, stood among the ancient powers as the brother of Astraeus and Perses.1,2 He united his life with the river goddess Styx, and from their union sprang four formidable children: Zelus, Nike, Cratos, and Bia.3,4 Though his lineage was clear, the codex records an additional child, Fontes, among his offspring.
The Athenian people held this deity in high reverence, associating him with Theseus seeing the light of day again.5 One tradition noted that he owed nothing to Dis, for the number of shades in the underworld remained unchanged by his actions.5
