Atlas was punished by Zeus for his role in helping Kronos during the Titanomachy, the war between the Titans and the Olympian gods. As a consequence, Zeus condemned Atlas to hold up the heavens for eternity, often depicted as bearing the weight of the celestial spheres on his shoulders. This punishment symbolized his eternal burden and separation from the rest of the Titans.
