Mythology
Atalanta

|
Atalanta, a Greek demigod is very strong. One reason why
Atalanta is very powerful is because she survived many hardships as a child.
When she was only a baby, her father, King of Arcadia, left her out to die in
the wilderness because she was a girl. Later a she-bear took her as her own.
As only a toddler, Atalanta
wrestled her so-called brother bears. She is forceful because bears
are big and they have sharp claws and could easily rip someone to pieces.
Also when she became a young maiden, all the men loved her because of her
strength and beauty. So she planned to race any man that would risk his life
to have her hand in marriage. Obviously almost every man offered up his life.
She raced almost every man and she only lost to one, who later became her
husband. Those two reasons explain why Atalanta is very able-bodied woman. |
