Atlas, the Titan.
After Heracles liberated the titan Prometheus, he helped him by telling him not to take the apples himself, but to seek the help of Atlas, his brother.

Atlas carried the heavens in his back, Heracles took the place of Atlas, and Atlas got the apples but didnt want to carry the heavy burden any more. Heracles tricked him to take his original place again and got the apples.
