Yes. Atlas wants to destroy Olympus and take the gods and let them hold up the sky each and see how they like it.
Artemis, Percy and Annabeth all had to hold it up individually. But Atlas was the one that had to hold it, and he got it again, after being tricked.
In "The Titan's Curse," the cause is the kidnapping of Annabeth and the awakening of the Titan Atlas, which threatens the safety of Mount Olympus and the world. The effect is Percy and his friends' quest to rescue her, leading to a confrontation with Atlas and the revelation of deeper prophecies and challenges they must face. This adventure also strengthens their bonds and highlights themes of loyalty and sacrifice.
The main bad guy is the same throughout the series - Kronos, but in The Titan's Curse alone it boils down to Luke and Atlas.
Artemis otherwise known as the goddess f the moon was fighting atlas.
The dreadful and feared monster is the sweet little cow fish, Bessie, or the Ophiotaurus. The myth is that if you kill him and sacrifice his entrails, it will release a power strong enough to bring down the twelve Olympian gods.
Atlas is not "the" antagonist, he is one of several antagonists. The main antagonist is really Cronos (Kronus). The books reflect, to a large degree, Greek mythology, in which there was a war between the Olympian gods and the older generation, i.e., the Titans. Atlas was one of the Titans who fought against the Olympian gods in ancient mythology. Most of the Titans are antagonists in the Percy Jackson books.
Its Atlas, in the war between the Titans and the Olympians, Atlas was on the Titans' side, when the Olympians won, Zeus punished all of the Titans. Atlas's punishment was to hold the weight of the (Earth)world. Later on, Perseus turned Atlas into stone using Medusa's head. So, Atlas is now a mountain. <Called Mt. Atlas>

Some say Herakles killed Ladon, but some deny and say Ladon was killed by Titans Atlas.

Well... to put it in the most simple manner possible, I'd say it symbolises perhaps... a Titan's Curse? Hence 'Titan's Curse'. Having read all Percy Jackson books to date including Heroes of Olympus, I am aware of what a Titan is but do you? Titan's are parents of the God's, the '2nd' generation of Godly beings in Greek Mythology said to be evil. Its vaguely clear what a curse is. The Titan specified is Atlas whom has the curse of holding the sky on his shoulders. Ironic right? I hoped I cleared this up for you!
The Titans.
Atlas was born of the Titans Iapetus and Clymene.
Atlas probably has the curse as he has to hold the weight of the sky. Percy restores the weight on Atlas's back after taking it from Lady Artemis.Sadly, Atlas's good daughter dies and this is why she has the Titan's Curse.
