The Queen of Spades is associated with the ancient Greek goddess Athena, with the epithet "Pallas." Pallas was a nymph of Lake Tritonis in Libya who was raised with Athena, but was killed when Zeus interrupted a sparring match. As a memorial, Athena took the name Pallas for herself, and carved a wooden statue image of her friend, known as the Palladium.
