No, he did not. When Perseus met Atlas he had already seen the three sisters and killed Medusa.
Atlas-Perseus turned Atlas to stone so he could no longer feel his burden Andromeda-she was being sacraificed to Poseidon's sea monster when Perseus saved her.
Because Atlas remembered an ancient prophecy which had warned him that a son of Jupiter [which is Perseus] would one day rob him of his golden apples.
well, after the hero Perseus got through slaying the gorgon, Medusa, he rested in the garden of the Hespirides for the night. Atlas was warned that one day a son of Zeus would steal a golden apple from his tree, Atlas assumed that Perseus was the hero of the prophecy, although Perseus WAS a son of Zeus, the prophecy wasn't mentioning Perseus. Perseus saw Atlas and the two began to fight, after fighting for a while, Perseus brought out the head of Medusa, which turned Atlas to stone, and making him a tall mountain, which we know today, as the Atlas Mtns. The hero of the prophecy was ACTUALLY mentioning Hercules, who came a little while after, while he was on his quest to do the 12 impossible tasks.

Atlas
Perseus, son of Zeus, killed the snake-haired Medusa by cutting off her head with a sword given to him by the gods. After killing Medusa, Perseus used her head as a weapon, turning Atlas to stone when he tried to attack him.
Perseus did this. He was flying by with his winged sandals and he saw Atlas holding up the sky. He felt sorry for Atlas and turned him into stone with Medusa's head. This is supposedly how Mount Atlas came about.
Perseus.
One of Zeus' sons, Perseus, was not turned to stone. However, the Gorgon Medusa, whom Perseus defeated, could turn people to stone with her gaze. Perseus used the reflection in his shield to avoid looking directly at her and managed to defeat her.
He did not, Perseus was sent to fetch the head of Medusa by King Polydektes of Seriphos.
The hero Perseus did. He was, however, not a god.
