In Greek mythology, Pallas (Πάλλας) was one of the Gigantes born of the blood which spilled onto Gaia when Cronus castrated his father Uranus.[1]  Pallas confronted Athena during the Gigantomachy, where she killed him and turned his skin into a shield (the Aegis).[2]  Pallas is sometimes referred to as being goat-like.
