The Arcadian Atalanta was a huntress who took part in the hunt for the Calydonian Boar. The Boeotian Atalanta was a hoyden who refused to marry any man unless he could outdistance her in a footrace since she was fleet of foot. This Boeotian Atalanta gave terms that her suitor should have a short start, and if she could not overtake him she would marry him; but if she could overtake him she would plunge a spear into his back. She was finally won by Hippomenes, who, as she was overtaking him, flung down severally three of Aphrodite's golden apples, which she paused to pick up and so lost the race.
