Pallas (Giant)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Pallas (Πάλλας) was one of the Gigantes born of the blood which spilled onto Gaia when Cronus castrated his father Uranus.[1] Pallas confronted Athena during the Gigantomachy, where she killed her and turned her skin into a shield (the Aegis).[2] Pallas is sometimes referred to as being goat-like.
