A new view of classic Greek mythology. While there are some Greek myths centered around female non-deities, I think Atalanta did a good job of weaving that concept in with more traditional and well known Greek myths.

Atalanta was abandoned as an infant at the edge of Artemis’s forest domain. She spent her early years raised by the creatures of the forest and somehow thrived. One day, she happens upon Artemis and her nymphs. Her life is changed forever. When Jason makes to set sail on the Argo in search of the Golden Fleece, Artemis sends her favorite as her champion: Atalanta. As she seeks to prove herself worthy in a crew of Greek heroes, Atalanta must remember the vows Artemis made her take before leaving. Should she fail, she will suffer the wrath of her angry goddess.

I always like reading mythology and seeing how the past dealt with explaining unknown phenomena. This adventure was a twist on one of my favorites and it actually changed my view of some of the characters.
