Original Sin
a.)Atlas was a titan bore from Lapetus and the Oceanid Asia. Being half titan Atals was a very large being. During his lifetime the inhabitants of Mt. Olympus waged war against the titans and Atlas foolishly joined the titans, and watched as the Olympians crushed the titans. Many were killed, many more were enslaved, but Atlas alone was condemned to hold the two halves of the sky together (basically the Earth).
Atlas = Adam + Eve
Zeus = God
b.)After creating the Earth, God placed the first two humans in a beautiful and lucious garden called the Garden of Eden. Eden was littered with delicious fruits and God said they were allowed to eat of any tree in the Garden except from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Being only human Eve falls into temptation and eats of the fruit of the forbidden tree and convinces Adam to try it with her. Instantly their clothing vanished and they both were left naked in the midst of the Garden. After a stern telling-to from God, both Adam and Eve are cast from paradise, and the gates of Heaven are sealed till the crucifixion of Christ.
c.)Both Adam and Eve and Atlas let temptation and pride get the best of them. Instead of respecting their authority they decided to become rebels and bite the hand that fed them. But every action has a reaction and for their desobedience both parties were forced into extreme hardships with one holding the world on his shoulders and the others were forced from the lap of luxury to the world of hard labor and terrible living conditions.
