In the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, a marble statue (which dates from the second century A.D. and is known as the “Farnese Atlas”) shows a Titan holding the heavens on his shoulders. It’s a Roman copy of an earlier Greek original. The muscles strain, the face is a grimace — and the shape of the heavens is a globe.

There are many views on what that is. Likely, it’s the earth around which the stars circle. But if common wisdom is believed, that before Christopher Columbus people thought the earth was flat, then Atlas should really have a large tray over his shoulder, like a busy waiter.
