If you light the match, does it become a kamikazee?

Sadly, as Atlas held up the sky and not the earth.... poor, poor lady. Inaccurate, large and no doubt expensive tattoo.

I like your response tho SW.

Really? I've only seen Atlas supporting the Earth... and a breast. :confused:

SG is correct. Atlas holds up the sky.

The usual sculpture shows Atlas holding up the celestial sphere. However, since the picture in 6781 does indeed show Atlas holding a heavenly sphere, I'd say it is accurately depicted.

Hmmmmm.
I still think the sphere idea is INCORRECT.
YMMV of course.

Quote:
Atlas, along with his brother Menoetius, sided with the Titans in their war against the Olympians, the Titanomachy. His brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus weighed the odds and betrayed the other Titans by forming an alliance with the Olympians. When the Titans were defeated, many of them (including Menoetius) were confined to Tartarus, but Zeus condemned Atlas to stand at the western edge of Gaia, the Earth and hold up Ouranos, the Sky on his shoulders, to prevent the two from resuming their primordial embrace. Thus, he was Atlas Telamon, "enduring Atlas." A common misconception is that Atlas was forced to hold the Earth on his shoulders, but this is incorrect. Classical art shows Atlas holding a Celestial Sphere, not a Globe.
Yes, and Classical art is wrong. Because I am right.
Especially as I don't think the lady pictured was aware of the full story. Nah.

Well I like the image of Atlas holding up the breast better than I'd like a tattoo of Atlas holding up my anus. :rolleyes:

It would be better than your anus holding an atlas. :D
