Browse era →This episode presents the tragic love story of Atalanta, a woman abandoned as a baby because her family wanted only boys. Raised by bears in the forest and later trained by hunters before being adopted by a royal family, she became the fastest runner in the land. Her adoptive father, not wanting her to marry, staged impossible races where suitors who lost would be killed. The arrogant Hippomenes (referred to as 'hippin' and 'hpom' in the transcript) sought help from Aphrodite/Venus, who gave him golden apples to distract Atalanta during their race. Using the tortoise and hare strategy, he threw the apples to make her stop and pick them up, ultimately winning the race and her hand in marriage. However, their happiness was short-lived as they forgot to thank Aphrodite for her help, leading the vengeful goddess to transform them both into lions. The episode concludes with the moral lesson about remembering to thank the gods for their favors.
