- Atlas
Meaning
The Prayer invokes Atlas through his surpassing strength beside Aion (Prayer.28). The genitive belongs to the strength being called upon. The line supplies no account of a burden he carries or of his parentage, so the name’s place in this invocation should not be replaced by an unrelated mythological summary.
