Atlas

Those who never paid attention in class when talking about Ancient Greek and/or Roman Gods and their myths around them, probably does not have even the slightest clue about how to see this picture. First off, let me say this picture did not stand out greatly at me, but I found it interesting on how a simple idea worked pretty well and was kinda funny. The picture depicts Atlas taking a break. Atlas was a Titan who was condemned by Zeus to hold up world forever. Now you see here in this picture that Atlas is taking a break, so lets hope the world doesn’t end because of him. I believe there should be more new media artists that use ancient mythology in their works. Whether it be songs, games, pictures, or movies. I looked around and of course found some, but there should be more out in the open ones in the public world known by many. A GREAT example was the God of War series, but that is just a pebble in the sea of boulders.
