Pallas (daughter of Triton)
- Pallas (daughter of Triton)
Pallas was the daughter of Triton. Acting as a foster parent to Zeus’ daughter Athena, Triton raised her alongside his own daughter Pallas. During a fight between the two goddesses, Athena was protected from harm by Zeus, however she mortally wounded Pallas. Out of sadness and regret, she created the palladium, a statue in the likeness of Pallas. [ Apollodorus: "Bibliotheca", 3.12.3] . This story inspired a yearly festival in Libya dedicated to Athena. Girls from the Machlyans and Auseans tribes would fight each other, and those who died were labeled false virgins. [Herodotus: "Histories", 4.180] With the help of Poseidon Pallas killed Ajax by burning his ship. [Virgil: "The Aeneid", 1.59]
