Atlas.
I, Atlas, am a Titan who is responsible for carrying the weight of the heavens on my
shoulders, a punishment that was imposed upon me by the father of all the gods, Zeus.
I led the Titans in the Titanomachy, which was a war waged against the Gods of
Olympus. Zeus and the Olympians were victorious, and many of my companions were
prisoners in Tartarus, one of whom was my brother, Prometheus. He was condemned
by the gods for having brought fire to the human race.
During the Titanomachy, Uranus, the sky, had been shaken and was no longer able to
hold itself in the air. So I was punished for holding the Celestial Sphere in place on the
western edge of the Earth for all eternity, holding the heavens on my shoulders until
the Titanomachy. I did not want to do this. As a result, I was sent to Hell.
During this time, I was the Greek god of astronomy and navigation, but I was also
considered the strongest of the Titans. Because of my immense strength, I was given
the role of the leader of the Titans on the battlefield. The outcome of the war was
inevitable. Despite my immense strength, the Titans, my allies, were eventually
defeated when Zeus recruited the Cyclops and Hecatonchires to his side.
