Listen "The Story of Atlas the Titan - Greek Mythology Explained"
Episode Synopsis
What did Atlas really hold up—and why has his punishment echoed through centuries of myth, art, and philosophy?In this deep dive into the myth of Atlas, we unravel the misunderstood story of the Titan condemned to carry the sky. Often mistaken as the one who holds the Earth, Atlas's true burden and his role in the Titanomachy—the war between the Titans and Olympians—paint a far more complex picture. Discover how Atlas rose as a war general, why Zeus selected him for this unique and eternal punishment, and how his legacy has evolved from a symbol of rebellion to one of endurance and cosmic responsibility.
