Who is the Atlas Bearing the Heavens in Greek Mythology?
Atlas is the god of the sky in Greek mythology, a family of Titans. He was convicted by Zeus to support the sky with his shoulders. Atlas was one of four sons of the Titan Iapoetos and the Okeanid Klymene: his brothers were Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoitios. According to legend, the king of North Africa was a descendant of Atlas. The North African Atlas Mountains are named after him.
