atlas solidarity
Logo details
In Greek mythology, Atlas was the primordial Titan who supported the heavens. Although associated with various places, he became commonly identified with the Atlas Mountains in north-west Africa. Atlas was the son of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Asiaor Klyménē
Atlas and his brother Menoetius sided with the Titans in their war against the Olympians, the Titanomachy. [...] Zeus condemned Atlas to stand at the western edge of Gaia (the Earth) and hold up Uranus (the Sky) on his shoulders, to prevent the two from resuming their primordial embrace. [...] A common interpretation today is that Atlas was forced to hold the Earth on his shoulders, but Classical art shows Atlas holding the celestial spheres, not a globe as in the "Farnese Atlas" (Naples, Italy).
ATLAS SOLIDARITY, as the Titan, holds on its shoulders who across the world needs some help.
