Talk:Palladium (mythology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Palladium is as far as I know the building/temple with the statue of Pallas.

• While this is also true, the Palladium can also refer to the specific, mythic icon of Pallas that was once housed in Troy. Notcarlos 20:27, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Triton?

Isn't Athena's father Zeus?

I think "the specific statue that Athena, daughter of Triton, erected of her playmate Pallas." should say "the specific statue that Athena erected of her playmate Pallas, daughter of Triton."

[edit] Merge

I agree, this article should definately be merged with Palladion, that article contains more info on the orgins of the statue. - Ravenous 16:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aeneas

While Aeneas may have been responsible for taking the Palladium to Italy, he can't have taken it to Rome, which wasn't founded for another four hundred years. Stationary (talk) 17:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps you'd recast the statement yourself, more closely following your reading of the Aeneid. --Wetman (talk) 02:10, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
