Zeus and Atlas are first cousins. Both Zeus and Atlas share the same paternal grandparents, Gaia and Uranus. Zeus' parents are Cronus and Rhea (who are themselves siblings) and his uncle is Iapetus, who sired Atlas with an unknown mother.
The father of Atlas was Iapetos, the son of Gaia and Ouranos, Iapetos was a brother of Kronos, the father of Zeus.
Atlas was the son of Iapetus, the Titan who embodied Mortal Life (his sons were Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus and Menoetius). So that means that Kronos was Atlas' Uncle (as Iapetus was Kronos' brother). Since Kronos was Zeus' father, that means that Atlas and Zeus are first cousins.
