In [[Greek]] [[Greek mythology|mythology]], '''Atlas''' (Mountain god) was the son of [[Iapetus]], an old [[Titan]] and [[Clymene]], a [[Nymph]]. He was the brother of [[Menoetius]], [[Prometheus]] and [[Epimetheus]].
Unlike his brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus, Atlas fought with the other Titans supporting [[Cronus]] against [[Zeus]]. Due to Cronus's advance age Atlas lead the Titan's in battle. As a result he was singled out by Zeus for a special punishment and made to hold up the world on his back. <ref>[http://edweb.sdsu.edu/people/bdodge/scaffold/GG/titan.html The Titans]
