Atlas (statue)

Okay kiddo, so there's this really big statue called Atlas. He's like a giant man who's holding up the world on his shoulders!

Now, this statue isn't actually the real world, it's just a sculpture made out of bronze or stone. But the idea is that Atlas is so strong and powerful that he can hold up the entire world without breaking a sweat.

People usually use the image of Atlas to represent strength and endurance, because it's pretty impressive that he can carry something as heavy as the whole world. Plus, he looks really cool and majestic standing there with his big muscles and serious expression.

So next time you see a picture of Atlas, just remember that he's a symbol of being really strong and capable of doing big things. And try not to get crushed under the weight of the world like he is!
