The Palici (Παλικοί in Greek) or Palaci were a pair of indigenous Sicilian chthonic deities in Roman mythology and to a lesser extent in Greek mythology. They are mentioned in Ovid V 406 and in Virgil IX 585. Their cult centered around three small lakes that emitted sulphurous vapors in the Palagonia plain and as a result these twin brothers were associated with geysers and the underworld.
