Atlantes A powerful sorcerer featured in the chanson de geste. The sorcerer built a castle of iron in the Pyrenees where he kept various captured knights and ladies. He captured these so they may act 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.
