"Atalanta and Peleus Wrestling. Black-figure Hydria, c. 550 B.C."PD Courtesy of Bibi Saint-Pol at Wikipedia.
Greek heroes were overwhelmingly men. the one noteworthy female athlete deserves a place. She is Atalanta, the sole women who sailed with Jason on his quest for the golden fleece, according to some. This paved the way for the return trip with the witch Medea of Colchis on board. Atalanta is also the hunter who first pierced the Calydonian Boar.
