In Greek mythology, Pallas (Πάλλας) was a son of Lycaon[1] and the eponymous founder of the Arcadian town of Pallantion.[2][3] He was the teacher of Athena,[4] who, according to local myths, was born in Aliphera.[5] He also had a daughter Chryse, who married Dardanus and brought the Palladium to Troy.[6] Stone statues of Pallas and his grandson[7] Evander were extant in Pallantium in Pausanias' times.[8]

Roman authors used Pallas' name to provide an etiology for the name of the hill Palatium.[7]
