[[Jupiter]] afterwards restoring the goat to life, covered it with a new skin, and placed it among the stars. This buckler, which was the work of [[Vulcan]], he gave to Minerva, who having killed the Gorgon Medusa, nailed her head to the middle of the '''Aegis''', which henceforth possessed the faculty of converting to stone all who beheld it, as Medusa herself had while alive.}}

And the very name is an acknowledgement that the vesture of the palladium is derived from Lybia, for the Lybian women put around the robe their goat skins tasselled and stained with madder ({{lang|grc|ἐρευθεδάνω}}) and from these goat skins, ({{lang|grc|ἐχ δὲ τῶν αἰγἑων τουτἑων}}) the Greeks have taken the word '''aegis'''.}}

Watkins v. United States Army]]'') that homosexual ''persons'', as a particular kind of person, ''are'' entitled to Constitutional protections under the Equal Protection clause. To be gay in this system is to come under the radically overlapping '''aegises''' of a universalizing discourse of acts and a minoritizing discourse of persons.}}
