There are two versions of the huntress Atalanta: one
from Arcadia, whose parents were Iasus and Clymene and who is primarily
known from the tales of the Calydonian boar hunt and the Argonauts; and
the other from Boeotia, who is the daughter of King Schoeneus and is
primarily noted for her skill in the footrace. In both versions,
Atalanta was a local hero allied to the goddess Artemis.
