האגדה על אטאלנטה
ובקיצור נמרץ According to ancient myths and legends set down by the Roman poet Ovid, Atalanta was a famous athlete and hunter who regularly challenged her suitors to footraces in which the loser was punished by death. The unbeaten Atalanta captivated Hippomenes. Venus was determined to help him by giving him three golden apples, which he dropped as he raced Atalanta, who lost time by stopping to pick up each treasure. With this trick, Hippomenes won the race and his bride.
