About aegis
The aegis or egis, as stated in the Iliad, is a device carried by Zeus, Apollo and Athena, variously interpreted as an animal skin or a shield and sometimes featuring the head of a Gorgon. There may be a connection with a deity named Aex, a daughter of Helios and a nurse of Zeus or alternatively a mistress of Zeus.
