Description
The origin of Atlas' unenviable duty lies in the Titanomachy, the great war between the Titans and the Olympian gods. Atlas and his fellow Titans fought against the younger gods but were eventually defeated. In retribution for their rebellion, Zeus condemned Atlas to forever uphold the heavens on his shoulders as a reminder of the Titans' failed uprising.
