  This image illustrates an encounter between Perseus, who is depicted flying in the sky on his winged horse, and Atlas, who is depicted on the right side of the engraving.

In order to protect the apples from Perseus, he erected a high wall made of stone and forced a dragon to guard the entrance to the orchard, all of which is depicted in the background of the illustration. Atlas commanded Perseus to leave his kingdom, and in retaliation, Perseus shows Atlas the head of Medusa. Instead of turning to stone, Atlas transforms into a mountain. The transformation is partially complete in the illustration as only Atlas’ beard and hair begin to turn into trees that will end up resting upon the mountain. Perseus flies away on his winged companion without stealing any of Atlas’ apples.
