I was reading some stuff about Greek Gods today and I came to an interesting find regarding SnK. 

Let’s take a look at the Greek Titan God named Atlas

“Atlas was a Titan condemned by Zeus to hold up the world for eternity after he sided with the Titans in the War against the Olympians.”

Now take a look at Eren’s Titan when he’s carrying the boulder (S1 episode 13):

The resemblance is striking!

Next, let’s throw a little bit of psychology into the blender. 

The ‘Atlas personality’ is found in a person who carries a heavy burden since childhood. That person had to take on a lot of responsabilities prematurely. They feel the weight of the world on their shoulders and often suffer from depression and anxiety. 

Well I don’t know about you guys but I immediately thought of Eren when I read this…

Especially the ‘carries a heavy burden since childhood’ part.

Last but not least: Atlas also had a brother named Menoetius. He’s usually described as someone who seemed to be overconfident, prideful and impetuous. He was called 'the Titan God of violent anger and rash action’ and fought alongside his brother in the Titan War. 

Who is Eren’s brother and kinda matches this description? Exactly right, it’s no one other than our bearded bastard! 

Atlas was eventually freed from his burden by Hercules and Menoetius was killed by Zeus during the Titan War. 

So if the story goes by the Greek myth then Zeke is going to die and Eren will be FREE (this could mean he either lives or also dies).

And who are Hercules and Zeus in the story?
