Pallas (son of Pandion)

In Greek mythology Pallas was one of the four sons of Pandion II and Pylia.

Upon the death of Pandion, Pallas and his brothers (Aegeas, Nisos, and Lykos) took control of Athens from Metion, who had seized the throne from Pandion. They divided the government in four but Aegeas became king. Later, after the death of Aegeas, Pallas tried to take the throne from the rightful heir, Theseus, but failed and was killed by him. His fifty sons, the Pallantides, fought against Theseus and were all slain.
