  • Atalanta: In Greek mythology, a virgin huntress who grew up in the wilderness. Her father wanted her to be married, but Atalanta agreed to marry only a suitor who could outrun her in a footrace. Hippomenes outran her when Aphrodite gave him three irresistible golden apples; every time Atalanta got ahead of Hippomenes, he rolled an apple ahead of her, and she would run after it.
