Atlas and l.is Load.

strictly speaking, ''atlas" is mis-
homer for a map book. since ii was
not the world, but the heavens. that
the atlas" of mythology upheld. Mer-
Gator. the famous Iiutch ,-eographer
who made globes for Emperor Charles
v. or Germany. WAS the first to use
the name In this connection, choosing
1t as a convenient and in some sort an
appropriate title. because Atlas, the
demigod, figures with world upon his
shoulders as u froatispiece of some
early works on geography.
Atlas, 1t was said. made war with
other Titans upon Zeus and, being
conquered, was condemned to bear
heaven upon his head and hands. Lat
er tradition represented him as n man
changed by means of Medusa's head
into mountain, upon which rested
heaven and ali its stars.
In any case, Atlas was always asso-
ciated with heavy burden strongly
borne. Thus Shakespeare makes War
wick say to Gloucester:
Thou art no Atia> foe so great a weight.
1t is not difficult to see how by an
association of ideas this came to be
chosen as the name for a book of
maps which upholds and exhibits to
us the whole world.
