What is the mythological meaning of atlas?
The Atlas mountains are a range in north west africa, these days stretching over a territory which includes Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. In Greek myth Atlas was one of the Titans (earth-born giants) who attempted to overthrow the gods in a prehistoric battle called the titanomachy. When the titans were defeated Atlas was condemned to stand at the end of the earth (the north-west African coast was the end of the known world to the ancient Greek) holding up the sky. Atlas later quarreled with Perseus, and Perseus turned Atlas into a rock (the Atlas mountains) by waving the head of the Medusa in his face.
