Often mistakenly thought to be Atlas, but Atlas actually supports the heavens, not the earth. Though he is seen in sculptures supporting a globe, this has no basis in any Greek mythology. I cannot recall ever hearing the world itself being supported by something or someone, other than perhaps Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of books, where Discworld, a large, flattened disc of land and water, is supported by four elephants on the back of a giant turtle named Great A'Tuin. Yes, Atlas was the brother of Prometheus and Epimetheus, son of Iapetus and Clymene.
In Greek mythology, this was Atlas. After Zeus (Roman: Jupiter) and his fellow gods defeated their father Chronos (Roman: Saturn) and his fellow titans, many of the surviving titans received punishments. Atlas was forced to bear the sky on his shoulders (in some myths, he's also depicted as holding the entire globe on his shoulders).
