Pallas
Pallas was the Titan god of battle and warcraft. His domain encompassed the strategic maneuvers, the meticulous preparations, and the cunning tactics that brought armies to triumph. His name itself, derived from the Greek word “pallein” meaning “to brandish,” hinted at his connection to warfare, but not the chaotic clash of battle itself, rather the strategic wielding of military might.
Parents: Crius and Eurybia
Siblings: Astraeus and Perses
Consort: Styx
Children: Nike, Zelus, Cratus and Bia
His children by Styx embodied a duality within warfare. Nike (Victory), the winged goddess, represented the triumphant outcome. Zelus (Rivalry), the burning zeal for competition, fueled the drive to conquer. Cratus (Strength), often depicted as Kratos, personified the raw power needed in battle. And Bia (Force), the embodiment of overpowering might, ensured dominance on the battlefield. Together, they represented the complex and often brutal nature of war.
