Eps 727: Atalanta
— The too lazy to register an account podcast
Hippomenes asked the goddess Aphrodite for help, and she gave him three golden apples in order to slow Atalanta down.
The apples were irresistible, so every time Atalanta got ahead of Hippomenes, he rolled an apple ahead of her, and she would run after it.
Comic books have also used versions of her story, including Hercules: the Thracian Wars, and The Incredible Hulk .
