Oh, dude, so back in ancient Greek mythology, Atlas was this Titan who got punished by Zeus to hold up the heavens for eternity. So, like, I guess people thought it made sense to name a book of maps after him because, you know, maps help us navigate the world and stuff. So, yeah, that's why we call it an atlas.
