Atalanta and the Calydonian Boar Hunt

Atalanta is a fascinating figure in Greek mythology, known for her independence, athletic prowess, and defiance of traditional gender roles. She’s a mortal heroine, not a goddess, often depicted as a skilled huntress and runner. Her backstory varies across sources, but the core tale is consistent: she was abandoned at birth by her father, King Iasus of Arcadia, who wanted a son instead of a daughter. Left on a mountainside, Atalanta was rescued and nursed by a she-bear (a nod to her wild, untamed nature) and later raised by hunters who taught her their craft. She grew up fiercely self-reliant, dedicated to the goddess Artemis, whose domains of hunting and chastity she embodied.

Atalanta’s myths highlight her exceptional abilities. Beyond the Calydonian Hunt, she’s famous for a footrace where suitors had to outrun her to win her hand in marriage—losers were killed. She remained undefeated until Hippomenes (or Melanion) used golden apples from Aphrodite to distract her, winning the race and her reluctant hand.

Atalanta’s Role in the Calydonian Hunt

The Calydonian Hunt is one of Atalanta’s defining moments, showcasing her as a standout among Greece’s legendary heroes. The story begins when King Oeneus of Calydon offends Artemis by neglecting her in a harvest sacrifice. Furious, Artemis unleashes a gigantic, ferocious boar to ravage Calydon’s lands, destroying crops and terrorizing its people.

Oeneus calls for a hunt, summoning the greatest warriors of the age—think big names like Meleager (Oeneus’ son), Theseus, Jason, and the Dioscuri (Castor and Pollux). Atalanta joins this elite crew, her presence notable because she’s a woman in a male-dominated endeavor, which stirs tension.

In the hunt, Atalanta proves her worth decisively. According to Ovid’s Metamorphoses (Book 8), she’s the first to wound the boar, striking it with an arrow that draws blood—a critical moment that shifts the tide. Meleager, the hunt’s leader and Atalanta’s admirer, delivers the killing blow, but he credits her skill by offering her the boar’s hide and head as a trophy. This gesture sparks outrage among the other hunters, especially Meleager’s uncles, the sons of Thestius, who see it as an insult to male honor. Their objection isn’t just pride; it’s rooted in misogyny—how dare a woman outshine them?

The fallout is brutal. The uncles seize the trophy, and Meleager, enraged (and possibly infatuated with Atalanta), kills them. This triggers a family curse: Meleager’s mother, Althaea, avenges her brothers by throwing a fated log into the fire—tied to Meleager’s life by prophecy—causing his death. Atalanta, though central to the hunt’s success, exits the main narrative here, her role complete but her impact undeniable.

Why She Matters

Atalanta’s part in the Calydonian Hunt isn’t just about the boar—it’s a showcase of her breaking norms. She’s not a sidekick; she’s a key player, her arrow setting up the victory. Ancient sources like Apollodorus (Bibliotheca 1.8.2) and Hyginus (Fabulae 173) emphasize her skill, while Ovid adds drama with Meleager’s doomed affection. Her inclusion among the heroes reflects Artemis’ influence—both as the boar’s sender and Atalanta’s patron—tying the story into a larger divine framework.

In art, she’s often shown mid-hunt, bow drawn, a rare female figure among bearded warriors on Greek vases and reliefs. Her story’s a mix of triumph and tragedy, with the boar hunt cementing her as a legend.

Brev1 i Koronaens tid,André Provoost til Kim Wild på telefaks.

(Jeg elsker lukten av brennevin om morgenen fordi det lukter av kjøpesenter og en ny boksmat)

Jeg er tilbake.

I koronaens tid må alle sitte hjemme og for en erfaren benkesliter som meg er dette kattemat.

Jeg bor tross alt i andre etasje i en sveitservilla og har via skrot-tor gått til innkjøp av en kikkert av type Pollux (antireflex triple tested) 7x50 for 250 sponetas og oi oi oi så mye gøy man kan ha det med den.

Min favoritt er å gå ned til kjøkkenvinduet til hun unge pene leieboeren som bor under meg tidlig på morgenen,kun iført kortbukse og hettegenser (hetta opp) og hver eneste morgen stå å se inn med kikkerten helt til hun står opp og da roper jeg HALLOOOOOOOO i det sekundet hun kommer inn på kjøkkenet sitt.

Hun pleier å skvette noe helt jævlig så da gir jeg en tommel opp mens jeg starter å synge Jahn Teigens optimist kjempehøyt,i falsett,skingrende falskt mens jeg vifter med noen syriner jeg har klipt av naboens syrintre sånn for å avvæpne situasjonen. Tror hun begynner å bli glad i meg fordi hun gråter ofte en skvett,rister litt og vinker til meg med knyttet neve og alle vet jo att i legoland er det en hyllest til klossesamfunnet.

Slik begynner dagen......

Da er det på tide a tenke på frokost og jeg har funnet ut den perfekte rett for en soignert herre i kortbukser og hettegenser.

Sheba har lansert en middag på boks med saus som er både billig og godt,kun 8 spenn boksen,mange gode varianter innen tunfisk,kjøtt,eller fisk i en hendig liten pakning og to bokser holder til frokost og lunch.

Fordelen med å gå å handle dette i disse tider er jo selvfølgelig att det står en vegg av spritdunst ut døra i det øyeblikket man entrer ethvert kjøpesenter og dette er selv under pensjonist-tia tidlig om morran,noe som gjør att man ikke lenger lukter eau de møllkule eller eau de sjøldau fisk som er pensjonistperfumene for tia og heller lukter hjemmevante odører.Terningkast seks.

I all hovedsak er dette noen korte tanker om hvordan man opplever dagene for tia og håper alt står bra til med deg Kim

Sender flere brev nå som jeg er i gang igjen,håper det er greit.
