Don't blame McNaughton for thinking Atlas held the world instead of the heavens. That was Rand's claim in the book, She had a tendency to admire the ancient myths but twist them around. She insisted the big businessmen were the drivers of civilization and if they ever got fed up and walked everything would crash and we'd be sorrrrrry.
Oh Martini this was too, too good. We don't deserve your talents. And thanks for including the clip from Fantasia. You've done it again, Martini. (Giggles with tears in my eyes).
I admit that I forgot it was the heavens and not the world that Atlas holds up. I think because so many statues show him holding a globe that I just sort of absorbed that imagery. Also the fact that we call a book of maps an atlas, etc. I learned a thing today! Thanks, Martini!
I love Hyacinth Hippo!!
