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.
