Plot

Queen Capys is doomed to a life of slavery by the Powers of Darkness until the last descendant of Ulysses is put to death to please the Cyclops. This is almost accomplished in a raid on a village by the Queen's soldiers where a descendant of Ulysses is killed and his wife enslaved; however, their infant son is taken away to be protected by Maciste.

Reception

It has been objected that in spite of the original title there is no "Atlas" to be found in either the Italian nor the English dubbed film version.
