Footrace
The Race between Atalanta and Hippomenes, by Nicolas Colombel (1644-1717), Liechtenstein Museum, Vienna. Atalanta is slowed as she picks up the golden apples rolled down by her rival
After the Calydonian boar hunt, Atalanta was rediscovered by her father. He wanted her to be married, but Atalanta, uninterested in marriage, agreed to marry only if her suitors could outrun her in a footrace. Those who lost would be killed. King Schoeneus agreed, and many young men died in the attempt until Hippomenes came along. Hippomenes asked the goddess Aphrodite for help, and she gave him three golden apples in order to slow Atalanta down. The apples were irresistible, so every time Atalanta got ahead of Hippomenes, he rolled an apple ahead of her, and she would run after it. In this way, Hippomenes won the footrace and came to marry Atalanta. Eventually they had a son Parthenopaios, who was one of the Seven against Thebes. Zeus or his mother Rhea turned Atalanta and Hippomenes into lions after they made love together in one of his temples. Other accounts say that Aphrodite changed them into lions because they did not give her proper honor. The belief at the time was that lions could not mate with their own species, only with leopards; thus Atalanta and Hippomenes would never be able to remain with one another.

During the boar hunt her rivals cause her to pick up golden apples of immortality.Atalanta was reunited to her father as a new person, a new introduction of her also as a man and of teh council of lathit. the being a man meant she had men backing her up and that she got her dratheric right to be able to represent both eqiually, a just and fair thing. Its dikey.Ro beat atalanta in a foot race and thus prove oneself worthy of marrying this godess who has also been called an artemis. Her husband using afrodite rolled golden apples in front of her everytime she was winning the race or ahead of Hippomenes another apple would appear or roll out causing her to chase after it. Rge race might be time or the challeng of equality. She had already become immortal and the bueaty of teh cults of teh time was that each claimed keeper of a way to immortality. so teh foot race also including learning ablout the people the apple represents. Each was an immortality she gaubed. Sp she would only merry someone equally just and able to run the whole foot race with her, one who did not complain that she sometimes was faster and only them gaining fruits of immortality would slow them down, as a hind of artemis would say she was fast.
THe husband won teh race and proved himself equal, others tried and died as teh rituals and virtue needed was to great for them to master.
both married and thier kazdoms unified, later they had a child Parthenopaios who was with teh seven against thebes, thus they are dated after cadmus. They unify with thebes one generation later.Zeus or his mother Rhea turned Atalanta and Hippomenes into lions after their ways were loved in the templas and created a new reaalithic faith and was transfered to symbols as lions, the lion of thrac. They were from the civilised belt of trathera. The temple then bec ame bigger and also turned into a leoppard as two faiths, one male and one female, but two seperate agenderless faiths rose, teh lepards of xthanthi. The faith grew and spread making many, influencing many faiths , thus santifit rasa laveth and martin webber spawned faiths that seemed not togther.
