Palladium 

When Ilus had first built his new seat，the city of Troy， he prayed Zeus to show some sign of blessing for it． His prayer was heard，and a wooden image of Pallas- A-thena fell from heaven to within the walls of the city． Known as the Palladium， the statue afforded the city safety and protection． At religious meetings of the goddess it was carried through the city streets amid joys and songs of praise． 内容来自www. .com

After the flames of war had spread for ten years before the walls of Troy， a prophet foretold that Troy could never be expected to fall as long as the Palladium was treasured by its  people ．In order to steal it out，Odysseus and Diomedes slipped into the capital one night in  disguise ，known to none but Hellen．The bad woman took out them to He cuba， the queen of Troy， at whose feet Odysseus immediately bowed down and asked formercy．The queen granted their request，and with the help of Helen，they successfully brought the image back to the Greek camp at dawn． CopyRight .com

Later it was said that Aeneas got hold of it and carried itwith him to his new land，where it was Preserved together with the goddess' fire．

当伊拉斯最初建造特洛伊城时，他请求宙斯赐福于这座城市。宙斯听到希求后，一尊木制的智慧雅典娜像从天堂落到了城墙里。人们将它称作雅典娜神像。这尊木像担当着保卫和照管城市的任务。在祭神的宗教仪式中，它在欢喜的气氛和褒奖的歌声中被抬着走过城市的所有街道。 CopyRight .com

在特洛伊建成之前，战火已弥漫了十年。一位预言家说：只有雅典娜的神像受公民的爱戴，特洛伊城就永远不会衰灭。为了将神像偷出城，一天夜里奥德修斯跟狄俄墨德斯乔装改扮潜入首都，这所有只有海伦知道。这个可恶的女人把他们介绍给特洛伊皇后赫克犹巴。奥德修斯即时跪倒在她的面前乞求恻隐。皇后允许了他们的恳求，在海伦的帮助下，他们在拂晓的时候成功地带着雕像回到希腊营地。 CopyRight .com

据说后来埃弥斯得到了雕像并带着它到了自己的新领地。木像跟神火一起被保存在这块土地上。
