Default [Dixonary] 3112 PALLADIUM Results

Dear people

Having received a def for the reprised rubble that was obviously the end
of the defs!!! and so it turned out

Many of you had difficulty with the names of theatres - had I realised
that I might have chosen a different word but... it actually comes from
Pallas Athena - Mythology says that a wooden statue of her was a
protection to Troy and was stolen by Odysseus (and Diomedes) from Troy
and later taken by Aeneas to the site of Rome where it became the thing
that protected the citadel and was there for several centuries (at least
until CE241 with legends that it was transferred by Constantine to
Constantinople to legitimize his reign)

Figuratively it became a symbol of protection in 16th Century English -
often relics of saints, but more generally things like Drake's Drum and
the Gibraltar ApesÂ* - hence #7 is the definition I used. Tim L and Nancy
voted for that thus it received a D2. Tim LÂ* also provided the winning
definition and Nancy becomes the real winner

So take it away Tim
