The
Atlas
Focused, enduring presence...
After the Titans were defeated by the Olympians, Atlas the Titan was condemned
by Zeus to stand at the edge of the earth & bear the weight of the sky on his
shoulders. Many legends attribute Atlas the Titan as the teacher of
astronomy to mortals. Mythology tales also portray Atlas as responsible
for guarding the pillars that keep the Earth and sky apart. Early drawings
& sculpture portray Atlas supporting a celestial globe, but in more modern
designs Atlas is often seen supporting the weight of the earth on his shoulders.
This detailed Bronze with patina finished resin replica accents the strength and
grace by which Atlas endures his challenge. The 12" bronze metallic
map offers deep earth tone colors, full raised relief and a full metal die cast
meridian with antique finish. A Replogle globe.
