OPINION

COHILL, District Judge.

Introduction

According to Greek mythology, Palladium, a Trojan statue of the goddess Pallas Athena (represented with a spear in her right hand and a distaff in her left), fell from the heavens near the tent of Ilus, a prince who was employed in building the citadel of Troy. Apollo, by an oracle, declared that the city of Troy would never fall as long as the Palladium was contained within its walls.
