The weight of the world on his shoulders
Atlas
God of Weightlifting and Heavy Burdens. He's the one with the whole world on his shoulders.
During the war of the Titans, Atlas stormed Olympus and threatened the Gods. And as punishment for this war crime, Zeus sentenced him to hold up the heavens and bear their weight on his shoulders forever.
Now the heavens might be made mostly of cloud, but you'd be surprised how heavy they are. So Atlas was very relieved when the laboring Heracles came along offering to give him a hand in return for a little help with some Golden Apples from the Hesperides.
Atlas nipped off to get the apples but wasn't inclined to resume his burden. "Here, hold this a minute while I scratch my back," said Heracles. And Atlas, not the brightest apple in the barrel, did so while Heracles made a sharp exit.
The awful burden was made slightly easier for Atlas to bear when Perseus came along and turned him to stone with the head of Medusa. He's now known as Mount Atlas.
Atlas is usually depicted as a strong silent type carrying a globe. Just for the record he was the son of Clymene and Iapetus.
