Kisah dan tradisi
Pallas adalah salah satu Gigantes, keturunan Gaia yang lahir dari darah Uranus yang dikebiri. Ia disebut Gigante yang tewas oleh Athena dalam perang melawan para dewa. Dalam Gigantomachy, Athena mengulitinya dan memakai kulitnya sebagai perisai. Sumber lain menambahkan bahwa kulit itu dipakai Athena untuk melindungi tubuhnya selama pertempuran, dan menyebutnya kulit mirip kambing yang dijadikan perisai aigis. Identitasnya diperselisihkan: menurut sebagian, Pallas bukan Gigante melainkan Titan lawan Athena dalam Titanomachy, dan ia mungkin sama dengan Titan bernama sama.
Pallas was one of the Gigantes, born to Gaia from the blood shed when Uranus was castrated. He is described as a Gigante killed by Athena in the war against the gods. In the Gigantomachy, Athena flayed him and used his skin as a shield. Another source adds that Athena used the skin to protect her own body during the battle, and describes it as a goatish skin made into the aigis shield. His identity is disputed: some hold that Pallas was a Titan who fought Athena in the earlier Titanomachy rather than a Gigante, and he was perhaps the same figure as the Titan with the same name.
