Book of legends

Answer:

ATLAS

Hint:

This collection of maps shares its name with a Titan who held up the sky.

Explanation:

"Book of legends" hints at Atlas because an atlas is a book—specifically a collection of maps—but the word also ties to Greek myth. Atlas was a Titan condemned to hold up the sky, making him a legendary figure. The clue plays on the double meaning: a literal book (atlas) and a reference to mythological stories (legends)."
