Did you know how the Atlas Mountains were named?

The Atlas Mountains play a pivotal part of adventure holidays in Morocco. But did you know the fascinating story of how they got their western name?

The Atlas Mountains are named after Atlas, a Titan in Greek mythology. According to the myth, Atlas was condemned by Zeus to hold up the sky for eternity. The Greeks associated the mountain range with Atlas because of its massive, towering presence, as if it were supporting the heavens. Over time, this mythological connection led to the mountains being named after the Titan. The name reflects the region's ancient cultural connections with both the Berber peoples of North Africa and the influence of Greek mythology.
