Woodrow Wilson

                                                             The Peace Palace
Woodrow Wilson did visit Buckingham Palace in 1918. However, under his presidency (1913-1921) in the year 1913 was the start of the International Law Congress of the Peace Palace Library. Just another Palace, perhaps. However, this collection of international law at the Peace Palace does effect the whole world, which is the main point of room 45. Therefore, it does tie in. (Even as Homer and Virgil mentioned Pallas in their respective works.)

While the Peace Palace Library exists and started in Wilson's time, he also had a secret plan for peace. It was written with a series of 23 maps. This peace plan outlined new maps of the entire world. The secret peace plan was rather brief (for international documents of this sort) and fit neatly in a black binder; thus, the Black Book. [More info in "The Black Book: Woodrow Wilson's Secret Plan for Peace" by Wesley Reisser] This was the centerpiece of the Paris Peace Conference and Treaty. Another secret within a book of secrets. I wonder of they have a secret handshake, like Animal House.

Peter Simon Pallas

Another Pallas is the bird and nature zoologist. Pallas discovered and named eight birds, plus 2 bats, a squirrel and a cat. The birds are as follows: Cormorant, Fish Eagle, Gull, Grasshopper Warbler, Leaf Warbler, Reed Bunting, Rose Finch, and the Sand Grouse. (Some are directly named Pallas Gull, etc.)

Ariel to is the Goddess of Birds, a compelling connection with Pallas (by Virgil or Homer, I can't remember, but along with Pallas). Ariel was over Aphrodite (and her dove), Athena (and her owl), and Saraswati (and her peacock). Lots of birds to discover amongst the Raven and others strewn throughout the book.

Pallas the Asteroid Planet

Pallas is an Asteroid belt, often referring to '2Palas', the largest in the Pallas group of asteroids. Often called a mini-planet, it is the largest known being some 550 km across.

Pallas of The Raven

"Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door-
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door-
                Perched, and sat, and nothing more. "

Pallas the Giant

There are several Pallas mentioned in Greek Mythology, so I am uncertain of the actual definition. Suffice to say, we see the great Giant on page 16 of Maze. Here is one of the sources I used.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallas_%28Giant%29  describes Pallas the Titan and Pallas the Giant. His feet are snakes, pictured above. Where did I see two snakes? Page 21 I think.

Pallas

The goddess Pallas or Athena Pallas. Mentioned by Shakespeare in Sonnet 38, "the tenth muse. (Zeus had nine different muses and Pallas sprang directly from Zeus, rather than being his child. So.) She was Shakespaere's muse, his inspiration, the goddess of music and poetry, warrior against ignorance. Her name Pallas meaning "Spear Shaker" Sir Francis Bacon wrote of her as the Spear Shaker (as mentioned by John Barcia Argens 1634.. She is said to be the inventor of musical intruments. Her statue adorns many Greek temples, always with a helmet and golden tipped spear.
   Sir Bacon is credited with using Pallas as a source of inspriaration to his secret society of the 'Rosicrosse' (not rose cross but cross of the rose). This fraternity tied in with the secret society of the Masons (quoted from Alfred Dodd's 'The Martydom of Francis Bacon'.
