Atalanta (/ˌætəˈlæntə/; Greek: Ἀταλάντη, translit. Atalántē, lit. "equal in weight") is a heroine in Greek mythology.

There are two versions of the huntress Atalanta: one from Arcadia,[1] whose parents were Iasus and Clymene[2][3] and who is primarily known from the tales of the Calydonian boar hunt and the Argonauts;[4] and the other from Boeotia, who is the daughter of King Schoeneus[5][6] and is primarily noted for her skill in the footrace.[5] In both versions, Atalanta was a local figure allied to the goddess Artemis;[7] in such oral traditions, minor characters were often assigned different names, resulting in minor regional variations.[8]
