Atlas kneeling with clock, bronze-plated statue

The Atlas statue depicts the kneeling titan with a built-in clock, 39 cm high.

Hand-finished bronzed resin statue with every detail crafted with precision. Atlas was a legendary titan who led the titans' ten-year war against Zeus. Atlas was eventually defeated, and as punishment, he was forced to hold up the sky. Heracles needed to retrieve golden apples from Atlas's daughters, the Pleiades, so he asked for his help. Atlas asked Heracles to hold the sky while he went to find his daughters. When Atlas returned, he did not want to take the sky back onto his shoulders. However, Heracles tricked him: he asked Atlas to hold it for a moment while he adjusted the burden on his shoulders—thus, he gave the sky back to him. In Roman mythology, Atlas kept Medusa's head in a bag. Once, he accidentally took it out and looked at it, turning him into stone.
