In\u00a0Greek mythology\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

The Titan\u00a0Atlas was responsible for bearing the weight of the heavens on his shoulders.\u00a0 A burden given to him as punishment by Zeus<\/a>. Father of many stars and a protagonist in one of\u00a0Hercules<\/a>‘ famous labours. He was also known as a wise man and the founder of astronomy. For Plato<\/a>, he was the eponymous first king of\u00a0Atlantis.\u00a0 And this giant of a god also gave his name to a huge mountain range in northern Africa, the great Atlantic Ocean and any large collection of maps.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

With a name perhaps conveying the meaning ‘suffering’ or ‘very enduring,’ Atlas was the son of the Titans Iapetus and Clymene (or Themis) and the elder brother of Epimetheus, Menoetius, and\u00a0Prometheus. Atlas was the father of the\u00a0nymph\u00a0Calypso and the seven Pleiades. In a Theban version of events, Atlas is also the grandfather of Niobe.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Atlas’ Punishment\u00a0from\u00a0Zeus<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

Atlas was given the task of holding up the heavens as punishment from Zeus for leading the Titans in their\u00a0battle<\/a>\u00a0with the Olympian Gods for control of the heavens. In a\u00a0similar vein,\u00a0Homer\u00a0describes Atlas in his\u00a0Odyssey<\/a> as ‘deadly-minded,’ as knowing the depths of all the seas.\u00a0 And as holding the pillars far out in the Atlantic Ocean which hold the heavens and earth apart.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Hesiod\u00a0in his\u00a0Theogony\u00a0also describes the titan as holding up the heavens and locates him in the land of the Hesperides.Known female deities famed for their singing, which lived far to the west, at the edge of the world. Later tradition, associates the god with the Atlas Mountains in North Africa. It was here that, in punishment for his gross lack of hospitality, the Titan was transformed from a shepherd into a huge rock mountain by Perseus<\/a>\u00a0using the head of the Gorgon\u00a0Medusa<\/a>\u00a0with her deadly stare. This story may go back to the 5th century BCE.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
