Atlas The Titan Who Holds The Sky

In Greek mythology, Atlas is a Titan who carries the sky upon his shoulders. He is the son of Iapetus and Clymene, and is often depicted as a strong, muscular figure struggling to carry the enormous weight of the heavens. Atlas is punished by Zeus for his participation in the Titanomachy, a ten-year war between the Titans and the Olympian gods. After the Titans’ defeat, Atlas is condemned to bear the Earth and sky on his shoulders for eternity. His enduring strength and endurance make him a symbol of resilience in the face of great challenges.
