A son of the Titan, Iapetos, and the Okeanid, Klymene (Clymene).
Atlas was the brother of Prometheus, Menoitios and Epimetheus; Atlas was condemned by Zeus to support the heavens on his shoulders for his part in the Titan’s war upon the Olympians.
Atlas is the father of the Pleiades and the Hyades and the nymph, Kalypso (Calypso); from his position at the edge of the world he could hear the Hesperides sing; his name was given to the Atlas Mountains in northwestern Africa.
