Pallas

See also: pallas, pallás, pall'as, Pallàs, Πάλλας, and Παλλάς

English

Pallas's planetary symbol ⟨⚴⟩

Etymology

From Ancient Greek Παλλάς (Pallás) (f.) or Πάλλας (Pállas) (m.), from πάλλω (pállō, “to poise, sway, or swing”), but explained here by the ancients as more specifically meaning to brandish something. In Athena's conventional iconography, she was often depicted with a spear or a shield. Thus the epithet was explained as referring to her brandishing these things.
