Overview

Pallas is a son of Crius and Eurybia in the Titan-descendant line. Hesiod makes him the father with Styx of Zelus, Nike, Kratos and Bia. The story does not infer Pallas's position in the Titanomachy; it uses him to complete the children's two-parent genealogy, while the source explicitly centres Styx and the children in Zeus's alliance.

Key facts
