ATLAS

A titan, the son of Iaprtus and Clymene, and the father of the Pleiads. As punishment for the war against the gods, Zeus made him stand in the far west and hold the sky upon his mighty shoulders. In one account Atlas tricked Hercules to hold the sky for a second while he went to get the golden apples.

To bear on his back forever

The cruel strength of the crushing world

And the vault of the sky.

Upon his shoulders the great pillar

That holds apart the earth and heaven,

A load not easy to be done
