Earth keeper

Earth Keeper

Like Atlas the titan who carried the earth. This picture, a man holding the earth to carry the whole land and water. The universe is his home. 
(The story of the Titan Atlas is not a happy one. According to Greek mythology, Atlas participated in a war the Titans waged on the Gods. The Titans, led by Cronos, were defeated by the Gods, led by Zeus. As punishment for the war, Zeus banished most of the Titans to the hellish Tartarus. For Atlas, Zeus chose to have him stand at the western edge of Gaia (Earth) and hold up Uranus (the sky) to keep the two from squeezing against each other.)
