Every mythology has stories of several gods .In Greek mythology Atlas was a giant god, who had immense strength. But from this strength, he had become arrogant also.

Zeus the king of Greek gods became angry with Atlas for leading the Titans against him.. He wanted to punish Atlas .The king ordered Atlas to stand for ever , holding the world on his shoulders.

Holding up the sky would be conceptually hard to show... and I wrote several times that he holds up the world.

excellent piece, I'm sure people have commented on the mythology in droves I'll only say that I would have done something about the right hand such as a shadow or other effect of the hand on the globe because it doesn't appear to make contact clearly in the piece

I hate to say this, but Atlas wasn't a God, Atlas was one of the Titans, which were at war with the greek gods, Atlas' punishment after the war ended was to hold up the sky for all eternity.

however the term "Titans" means first gods, and yes at one point in mythology they were considered gods so he is technically right! he was wrong in showing him holding the earth because that is wrong he did hold the sky.
