UNDER CONSTRUCTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Atlas, along with his brother Menoetius, sided with the Titans in their war against the Olympians, the Titanomachy. His brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus weighed the odds and betrayed the other Titans by forming an alliance with the Olympians. When the Titans were defeated, many of them (including Menoetius) were confined to Tartarus, but Zeus condemned Atlas to stand at the western edge of Gaia, the Earth and hold up Ouranos, the Sky on his shoulders, to prevent the two from resuming their primordial embrace. Thus he was Atlas Telamon, "enduring Atlas." A common misconception is that Atlas was forced to hold the Earth on his shoulders, but this is incorrect. Classical art shows Atlas holding a Celestial Sphere, not a Globe. In a late story,[7] a giant named Atlas tried to drive a wandering Perseus from the place where the Atlas mountains now stand. Later, out of pity, Athena revealed Medusa's head, turning Atlas to stone. As is not uncommon in myth, this account cannot be reconciled with the far more common stories of Atlas' dealings with Heracles, who was Perseus' great-grandson.
According to Plato, the first king of Atlantis was also named Atlas, but that Atlas was a mortal son of Poseidon.[8] A euhemerist origin for Atlas was as a legendary Atlas, king of Mauretania, an expert astronomer.

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-04-13
This work is impressive in its ability to employ such a drastic difference in distance perspective. Both model and 'miniature' scenes coincides pretty well in depth of field. All around .Atlas. by ~VermilionX is a rich, elaborate and just a fun piece to look at. ( Featured by `IreneLangholm )

Don't think about the process because it's too complicated. Doing your best is a basic requirement
