Pallas (Πάλλας) is a Titan. Most sources indicate that he was the son of Crius and Eurybia, the brother of Astraeus and Perses, and the husband of Styx. He was the father of Zelus, Nike, Kratos, and Bia. In addition, he has been named as the father of Scylla, Fontes, and Lacus. Alternatively, he was the son of Megamedes, and father of Selene, and is also recorded as the father of Eos.
The Suda in discussing Athena's epithet "Pallas" suggests a possible derivation "from brandishing (pallein) the spear". The city Pellene, in Achaea, was named after Pallas.
