Palladion
The Palladion (more often spelled Palladium) was a xoanon (wooden effigy) of Athena Polias (Protectress of the City) that fell from heaven according to myth. It was kept in the Polias precinct of the Erechtheum temple on the Acropolis of Athens and was considered the most sacred cult object on the hill by far.
