He also had an affair with Tethys, which resulted in the birth of the nymph Calypso. Together, the three strongest Titans overwhelmed their younger brothers, chained all six of them up, and hurled them into Tartarus once again, this time, guarded by Kampê, the most ferocious and terrifying monster in all of Tartarus that Kronos personally hired.Īfter marrying the Oceanid Pleione, Atlas fathered the five Hesperides (including Zoë Nightshade), and the seven Pleiades. When Kronos grew disgusted by all of the unbearable noise that his Hekatonkheire and Elder Cyclopes brethren constantly made, as well as their revolting stench, he summoned Atlas and Hyperion.

Atlas would also frequently approach his wise and clairvoyant uncle Koios with questions about the future. As a result, Atlas was also one of the Titan King's most loyal followers. Hence, Atlas would soon grow up to become Kronos' most powerful follower, and the General of the Titan King's forces (Kronos' second-in-command). Unlike the sophisticated Prometheus, and the awkward and unintelligent Epimetheus, Atlas was brutal and arrogant, frequently bragging about his incredible physical strength, which was only matched by that of his infamous uncle Kronos. He was also the elder brother of Prometheus, Epimetheus and Menoetius (the Titan gods of forethought, afterthought and rashness respectively). He was born to Iapetus (the Titan of Mortality and Lord of the West) and Clymene (an Oceanid-Goddess of Fame), and his aunt Rhea helped deliver him. Atlas was the Titan of endurance and part of the second generation of Titans.
