There are so many Greek myths and gods and goddesses and heroes and they all blur together. Atalanta is an interesting story for a retelling and yet it irks me the way a story about a woman who don't need no man still ends up being about the men she crosses paths with. Also, very weird pet peeve, but she left on a basically 9 month adventure on a boat with ONE outfit and no one ever discussed bathing or laundry and it's those practicalities that make it make sense even if the rest of it is magic.
