This Pallas is a second-generation Titan, son of Crius and Eurybia, and his significance lies in his children: by the Oceanid Styx he fathers Nike (Victory), Kratos (Power), Bia (Force) and Zelos (Zeal), the four personifications who, in Hesiod, take their place permanently beside the throne of Zeus because their mother Styx was first to bring her children to his side in the Titan war. They are less independent gods than the standing attributes of sovereign power. Pallas himself has almost no narrative; a late tradition, explaining the epithet Pallas that Athena bears, held that she killed him and took his name and skin.
The name Pallas is borne by several unrelated figures in Greek myth, a Giant, an early Athenian, a companion of Aeneas, and they should not be run together. The four children Pallas fathers on Styx, Nike, Kratos, Bia and Zelos, are themselves worshipped, where they are worshipped at all, chiefly as attributes of other gods rather than as independent cult figures in their own right, Nike above all attracting temples and statues, most famously the Temple of Athena Nike on the Athenian Acropolis, so that Pallas's own obscurity stands in some contrast to the considerable later prominence of at least one of his children.
