📖 • Context: Heracles visited Atlas and asked proposed a deal: if Atlas fetched the golden apples, Heracles would hold up the skies. Atlas hated holding up the skies, so he willfully agreed. After Atlas had retrieved the apples, he returned to Heracles and told him that he would take the apples to King Eurystheus himself. After all, Atlas did not want to return to holding up the skies. Heracles could not let Atlas do that but also didn’t know how to give him back the skies, so Hercules came up with a plan. Heracles asked Atlas to take the skies for a moment while he placed some soft padding on his shoulders to help him hold the skies. When Atlas agreed and took the earth back on his shoulders, Heracles grabbed the apples and left Atlas at the edge of the skies holding the world like he had done for so many years before. 🔎 • Sources: www.theoi.com/articles/atlas-holding-the-world-story/ 🔖 #historymemes #memes #greece #greekmemes #greekmythology #mythology #hades #underworld #cerberus #greekgod #greekgods #mythos #historical #explore #viral #Atlas #hercules
