Palladium (Greek religion), Encyclopaedia Britannica

This is not independent scholarship; it is Encyclopaedia Britannica's own staff-written entry on the Palladium in Greek religion, one article inside the same continuously maintained project this atlas also records as a general source. It descends from that project rather than standing beside it, so citing this entry alongside the general Britannica record, or alongside another Britannica topic article, is one editorial voice, not corroboration. Use it for what this specific entry states about the Palladium as a protective cult image; a claim needing deeper classical-scholarship detail needs a dedicated academic source produced outside Britannica's own staff.
