 The Summary of the greek mythology “atlas the god of Astronomy” Atlas was the god of weighlifting and heavy burdens. He’s the one with the whole world on his shoulders. But stories say that Atlas was not god in greek mythology. Atlas was forced to spend eternity holding the weight of the entire celestial universe on his shoulders as his punishment from the Greek gods.

His punishment was actually more severe in that he had to hold the much more encompassing heavens on his shoulders as his burden. Atlas led the battle of titans against zeus which lasted for ten years. Eventually, Atlas signed out by zeus and was forced to hold up the heavens as a special punishment.

Atlas was a greek god who often waged war with his brother against the Olympians. He lost the war and as his punishment was made to hold up the sky, Atlas was then identified with the Atlas mountain in nw Africa. He Also known as the father of calliope and the Pleiades.



My personal opinion about atlas was sorrowful because he had to spend eternity holding up the world and other heavy burdens. I personally think that the greek gods could have came up with a another punishment besides having him hold up the weight of the world. So yes I would be a friend of atlas just because I have realized what atlas had to spend the rest of his life doing.
