la Virgil Aeneid 4 246 251 [...] iamque volāns apicem et latera ardua cernit / Ātlantis dūrī, caelum quī vertice fulcit; / Ātlantis, cīnctum adsiduē cui nūbibus ātrīs / pīniferum caput et ventō pulsātur et imbrī, / nix umerōs īnfūsa tegit; tum flūmina mentō / praecipitant senis, et glaciē riget horrida barba. [...] And now as he flies, [Mercury] sees the peak and steep sides of Atlas the enduring, whose top props up the sky; of Atlas, whose pine-clad head is ever girt with dark clouds, and battered by wind and rain, [and] his shoulders laden with fallen snow; [then,] further on, rivers pour down his aged chin, and his bristly beard is stiff with ice.(This personification blends aspects of both the Titan and the mountain; see also: epanalepsis.)
