Pallas (Ancient Greek: Πάλλας) was a son of Pandion II of Athens and was brother to Aegeus, Nisos, and Lycus.
He had fifty children called the Pallantides ('sons of Pallas').
Mythology[]
Upon the death of his father, Pandion II, Pallas and his brothers took control of Athens from their uncle Metion, who had seized the throne from Pandion II. They divided the government in four but Aegeus became king. Pallas received Paralia or Diacria as his domain, or else he shared the power over several demes with Aegeus. Later, after the death of Aegeus, Pallas tried to take the throne from the rightful heir, his nephew, Theseus, but failed and was killed by him, and so were his fifty children, the Pallantides.
In a version endorsed by the Roman writer Servius, Pallas was not a brother, but a son of Aegeus, and thus a brother of Theseus, by whom he was expelled from Attica. He then came to Arcadia, where he became king and founded a dynasty to which Evander and another Pallas belonged.
