For the architectural structure, see Atlantes.

Atlantes was a powerful sorcerer featured in the chansons de geste. The sorcerer built a castle of iron in the Pyrenees to keep knights and ladies he had captured as a diversion for his nephew Roger, a pagan knight. Atlantes feared that his nephew would convert to Christianity and aid Charlemagne against the Saracens as he had foreseen through the use of the Book of Fates.
