What happened to Atlas in mythology?
well, after the hero Perseus got through slaying the gorgon, Medusa, he rested in the garden of the Hespirides for the night. Atlas was warned that one day a son of Zeus would steal a golden apple from his tree, Atlas assumed that Perseus was the hero of the prophecy, although Perseus WAS a son of Zeus, the prophecy wasn't mentioning Perseus. Perseus saw Atlas and the two began to fight, after fighting for a while, Perseus brought out the head of Medusa, which turned Atlas to stone, and making him a tall mountain, which we know today, as the Atlas Mtns. The hero of the prophecy was ACTUALLY mentioning Hercules, who came a little while after, while he was on his quest to do the 12 impossible tasks.

What was the greek god name that froze atlas so he can hold the world up?
It wasn't a god. According to some accounts, Perseus passed by Atlas on his way to return the sack given to him by the Hesperides. Atlas tried to shoo him away, but Perseus, still heady with his victory, revealed Medusa's head to the Titan, turning him into stone (i.e. the Atlas Mountains of North Africa). That account, though, doesn't jive with the later account of Heracles, which has the hero interacting with a perfectly mobile and not-at-all-stone Atlas. A more reasonable end to the tale is that after bearing Atlas' burden himself, Heracles decided to help the Titan by building the Pillars of Heracles, thus relieving the Titan of his burden.
