Greek Classics: Atalanta (Easy Classics) : 14 Stella Tarakson

When Atalanta is born a daughter instead of a son, her father abandons her in the wilderness. She is raised first by bears and later by hunters. With a talent for archery and running, Atalanta grows up to be a famous hero capable of beating anyone.

She vows never to marry, but then she finds herself in a race with a clever suitor named Hippomenes and three irresistible golden apples.
