Pillar of Olympus

The Pillar of Olympus is a gigantic pillar located in the Underworld which holds up Mount Olympus. 
==God of War series==
The Goddess Persephone develops a scheme in which she, with the aid of Atlas, will destroy the pillar, causing the destruction of Olympus and bringing chaos to the world. Kratos attempts to stop her, and the top of the pillar is where the two have their final battle. During the battle, Kratos also chains Atlas to the pillar with the Gauntlet of Zeus. After the battle is over, Persephone is slain, and Atlas is condemned to forever sit upon the pillar and hold Olympus on his shoulders.
As when Kratos takes the Icarus Wings in the Great Chasm and portal, he falls right on top of Atlas, who stands on the pillar. The Pillar of Olympus was also depicted as a carving on the enormous gates when Kratos had to solve its puzzle in order to open it and head on to the Pit of Tartarus to reach Kronos.
