The Atlas mountains are a range in north west Africa, these days stretching over a territory which includes Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.
In Greek myth Atlas was one of the Titans (earth-born giants) who attempted to overthrow the gods in a prehistoric battle called the titanomachy. When the titans were defeated Atlas was condemned to stand at the end of the earth (the north-west African coast was the end of the known world to the ancient Greek) holding up the sky.
Atlas later quarreled with Perseus, and Perseus turned Atlas into a rock (the Atlas mountains) by waving the head of the Medusa in his face.

The term "atlas" for a collection of maps is derived from the Greek mythological figure Atlas, who was said to hold up the heavens. This association was popularized in the early 16th century when the cartographer Gerardus Mercator published a book of maps titled "Atlas," featuring a portrait of Atlas holding the globe. The name stuck, and now "atlas" is commonly used to refer to any collection of maps.
The word chronic refers to the Greek god Chronos, the god of time.

Atlas were mythological figures from Ancient Greece, not real entities, so they are not associated with any specific continent. However, the "Atlas" in Greek mythology is commonly depicted as holding up the celestial spheres, and the story is often tied to the Atlas Mountains in North Africa.
