Which word has its origins in Greek mythology? Atlas

short version to explain is he was a titan who held up the sky

Answer:

Atlas is a Titan in Greek mythology who was condemned to sustain the celestial heavens for eternity (he is often portrayed as carrying the world on his back). He was condemned to this punishment after the war of the Titans against the gods of Olympia, as they fought over who would rule the universe. The gods of Olympia won the war and so the titans were punished.
