		A son of the Athenian king Pandion, and accordingly a brother of Aegeus, Nisus, and Lycus, was slain by Theseus.

		With no less precipitation, Narcissus, Claudius's freedman, whose quarrels with Agrippina I have mentioned, was driven to suicide by his cruel imprisonment and hopeless plight, even against the wishes of Nero, with whose yet concealed vices he was wonderfully in sympathy from his rapacity and extravagance.
		Pallas had in truth stipulated that he should not be questioned for anything he had done in the past, and that his accounts with the State were to be considered as balanced.
		Next Pallas and Burrus were accused of having conspired to raise Cornelius Sulla to the throne, because of his noble birth and connection with Claudius, whose son-in-law he was by his marriage with Antonia.

	[No title]
		The relationship of the freedman to his former owner was one of the primary reasons for the delegation of power by the emperor to his freedmen.
		The status of the freedman depended upon his relationship with his mater; the links binding the members of the emperor’s household were thus stronger than was the case with other servants.
		Pallas and Agrippina prevailed and, after the technically incestuous relationship was legalised by the Senate at the instigation of L. Vitellius, the marriage took place (Tac.

	Felix
		His avarice was unbounded, and he never hesitated to commit any crime by which he might gratify his depraved passions.
		This incompetent scoundrel was made Roman procurator by his all-powerful brother Pallas.
		He governed Judea says Tacitus "with the powers of a king and the soul of a slave." Felix, like his brother, was a freedman but betrayed his slave origin by his cruelty and intemperate wantonness.

		Pallas again selected Agrippina for special commendation because she would bring with her Germanicus's grandson, who was thoroughly worthy of imperial rank, the scion of a noble house and a link to unite the descendants of the Claudian family.
		In the consulship of Caius Antistius and Marcus Suilius, the adoption of Domitius was hastened on by the influence of Pallas.
		To Pallas, who, as the emperor declared, was the author of this proposal, were offered on the motion of Barea Soranus, consul-elect, the decorations of the proctorship and fifteen million sesterces.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Agrippina the Younger
		Agrippina attained the long-coveted position of imperial wife, and Claudius was able to keep the daughter of his still popular brother Germanicus from marrying someone else and so legitimating a potential rival with her family connection.
		Her bid to become Claudius' wife was championed by the powerful imperial freedman Pallas.
		At the initiative of Pallas and the palace insider L. Vitellius, the senate voted to make such a union legal, at least when the uncle was on the father's side.

	Claudius
		Of the loathed freedmen at Claudius' court, the most notorious were perhaps Polybius, Narcissus, Pallas, and Felix, the brother of Pallas, who became governor of Judaea.
		Their rivalry did not prevent them from working in concert to their common advantage; it was virtually a public secret that honours and privileges were 'for sale' through their offices.
		In fact it became the reason of his very downfall, as the emperor's next wife Agrippina the younger saw to it that the freedman Pallas, who was finance minister, soon eclipsed Narcissus' powers.

		It was evidently the intention of Augustus that membership in the equestrian class should be a necessary qualification for the procurators who were appointed to govern provinces.
		But Claudius appointed a freedman, Antonius Felix, brother of the famous minister of finance, Pallas, as procurator of Judea (Suetonius, Claudius xxviii; Tacitus, History v.9).
		This remained, however, an isolated instance in the annals of Palestine (Hirschfeld, 380), and it is probable, moreover, that Felix was raised to equestrian rank before the governorship was conferred upon him.

	Pliny to Montanus with details about Pallas' Honors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		The senate wished that he be given 15,000,000 HS from the treasury and, since his soul was so far removed for all desires of this sort, the senate should ask all the more fervently that the Father of the state should compel him to accede to the wishes of the senate.
		So, in order that Pallas not take 15,000,000 HS out of the public treasury, it took his modesty, and the obedience of the senate, which would not have happened in this case, if it had not been thought right to disobey on any point.
		The praetorian ornaments of Pallas were cut and inscribed on a public monument for all time just like ancient treaties, just as if they were sacred laws.

		Like the court of Philip II in which Alexander the Great was raised, Antonia's household in Rome was filled with the children of kings and tetrarchs, including, at one time or another, princes and princesses from Judaea, Commagene, Thrace, Armenia, Mauretania, and even Parthia.
		These were tokens of her close and enduring ties to foreign royal houses, ties that were symbolized also by the presence among her slaves of Pallas, who would rise to notorious eminence as a freedman under Claudius, and who claimed descent from Arcadian royalty.
		There is some reason to think that, if a Roman historical context for a woman's power did not really exist, one was duly manufactured.
