Atlas God was perhaps of the most well known Titan, the child of Iapetus and the Oceanid Asia (or, potentially, Clymene). He was the head of the Titan defiance to Zeus, and he got a fitting discipline after the finish of the Titanomachy: he was sentenced to hold up the sky unceasingly.

Atlas god house was The Far West. The guardians ( parents ) of Atlas were Iapetus and Clymene.

 Atlas was a Titan , what is atlas doing ?

Atlas god , in Greek folklore, child of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Clymene (or Asia) and sibling of Prometheus (maker of humanity). In Homer’s Odyssey, Book I, Atlas appears to have been a marine animal who upheld the support points that held paradise and earth separated. These were remembered to rest in the ocean quickly past the most western skyline, yet later the name of Atlas was moved to a scope of mountains in northwestern Africa. Atlas  was thusly addressed as the lord of that locale, transformed into a rough mountain by the legend Perseus, who, to rebuff Atlas for his inhospitality, showed him the Gorgon’s head, seeing which went men to stone.

As per Hesiod’s Theogony, Atlas was one of the Titans who partook in their conflict against Zeus, for which as a discipline he was sentenced to hold overtop the sky. In many masterpieces he was addressed as conveying the sky (in Classical craftsmanship from the sixth century BCE) or the divine globe (in Hellenistic and Roman workmanship).

The fate of Atlas God

Dissimilar to his kindred Titans, Atlas had an alternate discipline. Rather than being exiled to Tartarus, Zeus subjugated Atlas to holding up the earth on his shoulders forever. This was on the grounds that Zeus believed Atlas should hold Gaia back from shaping the early stage bond with Tartarus. Chart book could have done without holding up the earth on his shoulders, and he attempted to receive in return commonly.


The story of Atlas and Perseus

The legend of Atlas and Perseus recounts the narrative of Perseus going Atlas to stone thinking carefully.

At some point, Perseus was coming back in the wake of decapitating Medusa. He came to the furthest limit of the earth and happened upon Atlas holding up the earth. Perseus asked Atlas for cover from his long excursion. Map book was let in an old prediction know that somebody would come for his sacrosanct brilliant apples, so Atlas dismissed Perseus.




Perseus was irate that Atlas wouldn’t give him cover during his long excursion, so he took out Medusa’s head from his bag and showed it to Atlas. Map book investigated the eyes of the executed Medusa and was gone to promptly stone.

The story of  Hercules and Atlas

One more legend in Greek folklore recounts the tale of Hercules and his 12 works.

At the point when Hercules was hitched to Megara, he had three children. Hera, spouse of Zeus, attempted to obliterate Hercules various times since Hercules was a consistent sign of her better half Zeus’ untrustworthy undertaking with a human lady Alcmene. This human lady brought forth Zeus’ child Hercules, and his reality was a consistent suggestion to Hera of Zeus’ issue. Consequently, she attempted to annihilate him ordinarily.

At some point, Hera sent frenzy upon Hercules and caused him to accept that he expected to kill his significant other and youngsters since he thought they were another person. When he killed them, he understood what he had done and was hit with pain. Hercules looked for the exhortation of Apollo to attempt to make things right. Apollo let Hercules know that he ought to visit King Eurystheus and become his slave.



At the point when Hercules visited King Eurystheus, he told Hercules he would have to finish 12 troublesome works for him. One of those works was to take the brilliant apples that had a place with Zeus. These apples were in a nursery and watched by 100 headed mythical beast and the Hesperides ocean sprites. Hercules didn’t have the foggiest idea how he planned to move beyond these watchmen to take the brilliant apples, so he looked for the assistance of Atlas at the counsel of Prometheus.

Hercules visited Atlas and asked proposed an arrangement: on the off chance that Atlas brought the brilliant apples, Hercules would hold up the earth. Map book despised holding up the earth, so he resolutely concurred. After Atlas had recovered the apples, he got back to Hercules and let him know that he would take the apples to King Eurystheus himself. All things considered, Atlas would have rather not gotten back to holding up the earth.

Hercules couldn’t allow Atlas to do that yet in addition didn’t have any idea how to give him back the earth, so Hercules thought of an arrangement. Hercules requested that Atlas take the earth briefly while he put some delicate cushioning on his shoulders to assist him with holding the earth. At the point when Atlas concurred and took the earth back on his shoulders, Hercules snatched the apples and left Atlas at the edge of the earth holding the world like he had done for such countless years prior.
