Why does Atlas beg Perseus to show him Medusa's head?

History

maksim [4K]3 years ago
7 0

Some of the Roman writers tried to rationalize the story of Atlas holding up the sky by equating Atlas to mountains — specifically, the Atlas Mountains. They accomplish this using Medusa’s head.

The gist of the tale is that Perseus passed near Atlas’ location — at the far west of the known world (i.e. continental Europe and Northern Africa) — after slaying Medusa and asked for lodging and protection for the night. Atlas was rude and demanded Perseus to leave, prompting Perseus to expose the Titan to Medusa’s head and turn him into the mountain range. At no point, at least in any source that I know of, did Atlas explicitly ask to be turned to stone.

John Brown was born into a family that has extreme anti-slavery views. This was part of the reason why his views on slavery were greatly influenced while growing up. He, with a group of other men, set out on the journey of freeing slaves while murdering the slave owners.

On the long run, he planned to capture the Federal Arsenals at Hapers Ferry which he would use to arm his group and other slaves with the sole intention of freeing more slaves. His plans failed and was tried for the crime. Later, he was publicly hanged.
