Atalanta (/ˌætəˈlæntə/; Ancient Greek: Ἀταλάντη, romanized: Atalántē, lit. 'equal in weight') is a heroine in Greek mythology.
There are two versions of the huntress Atalanta: one from Arcadia,[2] whose parents were Iasus and Clymene[3][4] and who is primarily known from the tales of the Calydonian boar hunt and the Argonauts;[5] and the other from Boeotia, who is the daughter of King Schoeneus[6][7][8] and is primarily noted for her skill in the footrace.[6] In both versions, Atalanta was a local figure allied to the goddess Artemis;[9] in such oral traditions, minor characters were often assigned different names, resulting in minor regional variations.[10]
