In
Hyginus says that Pallas, whom he calls "the giant", also fathered with Styx: Scylla, Fontus ("Fountains") and Lacus ("Lakes").[2] Pallas was sometimes regarded as the Titan god of warcraft and of the springtime campaign season.[3]
Family
The Hyperion and Theia), the daughter of a Pallas, son of (an otherwise unknown) Megamedes, which is possibly the same as this Pallas.[4] Ovid uses the patronymic "Pallantias" or "Pallantis" as another name for Aurora, the Roman equivalent of the Greek Eos ("Dawn"), who was the sister of Selene; Ovid apparently regarding Aurora (or Eos) as the daughter of (or otherwise related to) Pallas.[5]
The Argives claimed it was named for the Argive Pellen.[7]
