palladium
In Greek mythology, an image of Pallas Athena, goddess of war and wisdom, and a gift from Zeus to the city of Troy. According to legend, the image guaranteed the safety of the city. It was stolen by the Greek leaders Odysseus and Diomedes and taken to Greece, although it was later alleged to have been taken to Rome by the Trojan prince Aeneas.
The image was preserved in the Temple of Vesta, the shrine of the Roman goddess of the hearth.
