LOVE how you started this slideshow with the screenshot from Smite's cinematic trailer for Atlas's addition to that game's roster. I think it's absolutely genius what that game has done with Atlas, especially how he has essentially captured the cosmos/heavens inside an Astrolabe.

Finally you're back! You kinda stopped right after I had binge watched all your other videos, so I grew a little uneasy there xD

About the video:
Foreseeing the bad outcome of a battle and therefore staying away from it, might actually be the reason for said bad outcome.. x)

Damn Zeus didn’t play around with punishing people even other gods. But atlas got to be know as strength and endurance

[DeificSirenic]

Superior power you say ? It seems you've totally forgotten the fact that the Olympians STOOD NO CHANCE until they ran to call the other children of Gaia to help them. After those children forged weapons for Zeus and his brothers, the other children of Gaia still needed to fight against the Titans. It was after all of this that the Olympians were victorious.

Also if Atlas was turned to stone would the heavens have falling so that wouldn’t even make sense for him to do that to him cuz then I’m sure Zeus would do somethin bad to him for messing with that
