Atlas was the son of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Clymene. He was one of the Titan brothers, alongside Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius. His fate was forever altered when he sided with the Titans in their war against the Gods. As punishment Zeus condemned him to forever hold the weight of the celestial heavens for all eternity. Atlas stands as a symbol of endurance and perseverance, often depicted as a wise and knowledgeable figure serving as a guide to Hero’s and Traveler’s alike. The legacy of Atlas expands beyond Greek mythology influencing art, literature, and philosophy for centuries. His image has become synonymous with strength and the weight of responsibility. In today’s world the term Atlas is often used to refer to a person or object that bares a heavy burden of responsibility but despite the seemingly insurmountable task serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit.
