PALES

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 600 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PALES , an old Italian goddess of flocks and shepherds. The festival called Parilia (less correctly Palilia) was celebrated in her
honour
  at Rome and in the
country
  on the 21st of
April
 . In this festival Pales was invoked to grant
protection
  and increase to flocks and herds; the shepherds entreated forgiveness for any unintentional profanation of holy places of which their flocks might have been guilty, and leaped three times across bonfires of hay and straw (
Ovid
 ,
Fasti
 , iv. 731805). The Parilia was not only a herdsmen's festival, but was regarded as the birthday celebration of Rome, which was supposed to have been founded on the same day. Pales plays a very sub-
ordinate
 
part
  in the
religion
  of Rome, even the sex of the divinity being uncertain. A male Pales was sometimes spoken of, corresponding in some respects to Pan; the
female
  Pales was associated with Vesta and Anna Perenna.
