Greek gods and mortals spring to life in this riveting retelling of
the myth of Atalanta, the fleet-footed girl warrior who could
outrun any man in ancient Greece.
Cast off and abandoned at birth, Atalanta- saved by a she-bear and
raised by hunters-proves herself to be a superior archer and the
fastest runner in the land. But her skills and independence anger
many, including her father, the Arcadian King, who suddenly
reclaims her and demands that she produce an heir to the throne.
Atalanta has pledged herself to Artemis, goddess of the hunt, who
has forbidden her to marry. Unwilling to break her promise,
Atalanta suggests a grim compromise: she will marry the first man
to beat her in a race, but everyone she defeats must die. All the
while, Artemis, Apollo, Aphrodite, Eros, and Zeus himself watch-and
interfere-from on high.
