Pallantium
(
Παλλάντιον). An ancient town of Arcadia, near Tegea, said
to have been founded by Pallas, son of Lycaon. Evander is said to have come from this place,
and to have called the town which he founded on the banks of the Tiber Pallantēum
(afterwards Palantium and Palatium), after the Arcadian town (Pausan, viii. 43, 44). Hence
Evander is called
Pallantius heros.
