Atlas was the titan who's punishment it was to hold up the weight of the world until the end of time after the great war, but for a while it was Hercules who held it up for one of his twelve labors so that Atlas could get a golden apple form the garden of Hesperides which his daughters alongside a serpent (who Hercules had killed using his bow for Atlas) guarded.
