GREEK GOD
FOLLOW-UP....

Then one of the bravest men

throwing spears. But that only made the beast even more ferocious

from before; he attacked the soldier, capturing him before he could

save himself, and tear him apart by

the ivory. Another man wandered too far from the place

his hiding and also followed and killed. One of the oldest heroes

and the noblest directs his spear and throws it all over

its power; but it just grazed the boar's hard skin and

glanced up and pierced the heart of a warrior on the other side. Piggies

the forest gets the best of the fight.

Atalanta now ran forward and

throwing spears. It hit the boar's back, and the blood flow

the big one gushed out. A soldier releases an arrow

he poked one of the animals eyes. Then Meleager rushed over and

stabbed his heart with his spear. The boar can no longer stand; but

he fought hard for a while, and then rolled over, dead.

The heroes then cut off the heads of the beasts

that's. That's as many as six of them can carry. Then they

took the skin from his large body and offered it to Meleager

as a reward, because he had given death wounds to the boar

that's. But Meleager said:

"It belongs to Atalanta, for he is the one who

gave him the first wound." And he gave it as a gift

honor.

You should have seen that hunter girl

tall back then, as he stood among the trees with pig skin

thrown into his left shoulder and reaching down to his feet. She hasn't

it once looked so similar to the queen of the jungle. But brothers

The abusive Queen Althea becomes irritated at thinking that a girl

they have to win prizes, and they start to make trouble. One of

from them took Atalanta's spear from his hand, and dragged the gift from

his shoulder, and the others pushed him violently and asked him back to

Arcadia and live again with a female bear on the side of the mountain. All

This annoying meleager, and he's trying to get his uncle to return it

the spear and its reward, and stopped their impolite talk. But

they grow worse and worse, and eventually attack

Meleager, and will kill him if he doesn't draw his sword to

in self-defense. A fight ensued, and the rude men charged into

right and left as if they were blind. Soon both of them were dead

on ground. Some people who did not see the fight said that

Meleager killed them, but I'm more confident that they're with each other

kill in their drunken rage.

And now all the companies are starting to return to

town. Some carried large boar heads, and some parts

his body was different, while others made palanquins from the branches

green, and bear on it the bodies of those who have been

butchered. It was a strange procession.

A young man who doesn't like Meleager,

it had run in front and had reached the city before the other entourage

start off. Queen Althea was standing at the palace door, and when she

looking at him, he asked what was happening in the forest. He immediately told her

that Meleager had killed his brothers, because he knew that

all their faults, he loves them so much. Sad it feels

saw sadness. She screamed, and tore her hair, and ran

wild from room to room. Her senses left her, and she didn't know what

which he did.

It was a habit at that time

people to avenge the death of their relatives, and the only

the thought is how to punish the brother killer

her man. In his madness he forgot that Meleager was

his son. Then he thought of the three Fates and the unburned fire

which he had locked on his chest all those years before. He ran and

take a stick and throw it into the burning fire in the fireplace.

It lit up at once, and he watched it

it was brightly lit. Then it started turning into ashes, and when

the last spark went out, the noble Meleager, who was walking on the side of Atalanta,

fall to the ground dead.

When they brought the news to Althea, he

didn't say a word, because he knew what he had done,

and his heart was broken. He turned around quietly to go and went to his room

by oneself. When the king came home a few minutes later, he found him

already dead.

So the hunt ends

in the Calydon forest.

After Meleager's death, Atalanta returns to the

his old house is between the Arcadia Mountains. He's still a frisky hunter, though,

and he was never as happy as when in the green forest wandering in between

trees or chasing wild deer. But the whole world has heard

about him; and the young heroes of the land closest to

Arcadia does nothing but talk about beauty and

his grace and speed and courage. Of course every

this young man wants him to be his wife; and he can be queen when

if only he had said that word, because the richest king in Greece would have

happy marrying. But he doesn't care about any young man, and he

would rather the freedom of the green forest than all the good things he might have

have it in the palace.

The young men would not accept

"No!" for the answer, but. They don't believe that

he really meant it, so they kept coming and staying until

arcadia Forest is full of them, and there is no connection at all with

removing them, Atalanta called them together and said:

“You want to marry me, right? Well, if there is

among you who want to race me from this mountain to the river bank in the

there, she may do it; and I will be the wife of a transgressor

me." i."

"agree! agreed!" exclaim all children

youthful.

"But, listen!" her

said. "Whoever tries this race must also agree that

if I run faster than him, he'll have to lose his life."

How long their faces are

it! About half of them walked away and went home.

"But did you not give us a beginning

little?" ask the others.

"Oh, yes," he answered. "I

will give you the beginning of a hundred steps. But remember, if I precede whom

even before he reached the river, he would lose his head that day

also."

Some others now find that

they are in poor health or the businesses that call them

go home; and when they are next sought, they are not

be found. But many people have practiced sprints all over

the country stayed and decided to try its luck

them. Can an ordinary girl run faster than people

good as them? It's bullshit!

And it just so happened that a race was run

almost every day. And almost every day there are poor people

lost his mind; because the fastest sprinter in all of Greece was overtaken by

Atalanta long before he could reach the riverbank. But young men

others kept coming and coming, and not long after that one was put away,

others replaced him.

One day came from a far away town

a handsome and tall young man named Meilanion.

"You better not run away with me, anyway,"

atalanta said, "because I will definitely catch up with you, and it will be

end of you."

"We'll see, then" said

Meilanians.

Now Meilanion, before coming to try

his chance, has been to talk to Venus, the queen of love, who lives together

Jupiter among the clouds at the top of the mountain. And he's very handsome and gentle

and wise so that Venus pityed him, and gave him three golden apples and

tell him what to do.

Well, when all is ready to race,

Atalanta tries again to persuade Meilanion not to run, because he too

pity him.

"I will definitely catch up with you" he said.

"All right!" meilanion said, and

go he darted; but he had three golden apples in his pocket.

Atalanta gave him a good start, and then

he followed her, as fast as an arrow shot from the bow. Meilanion

a very fast runner, and it will not be difficult for him to

overtaking him. He thought that he would let it almost reach

purpose, because he really pitied her. He heard her approaching

behind him; he heard his rapid breathing as he grabbed it

very quickly. Then he threw one of the golden apples up

her shoulder.

If there is anything in the world that

admired by Atalanta, it was a bright stone or a piece of yellow gold

gorgeous. As the apple fell to the ground, he saw how beautiful the apple was

that, and he stopped to take it; and as he did this,

Meilanion gets a lot of steps. But what is it? In one minute

he was as close as before behind her. However, he really

pity him.

Meilanion threw the second apple

over shoulder. It was more handsome and larger than the first, and

Atalanta could not bear the thought of letting others get it. So then

he stopped to pick it up from among the long grass, where the grass

it fell. It took me longer to find him than he did

guess, and when he looked up again, Meilanion was a hundred feet in

ahead of him. But it doesn't matter. He could easily

catch up. However, how pitiful was he to that foolish young man!

Meilanion heard him speeding like

the wind behind him. He took the third apple and threw it to one

the side of the road where the ground slants towards the river. Atalanta's fast eye

seeing that it was much more beautiful than the others. If not immediately

lifted up, it will roll into the deep and lost water, and it

it's never gonna happen. He turned from his way and ran

chased him. Easy enough to overtake that apple, but when he

doing so, Meilanion attacked him again. He's almost reached

purpose. How he's flexing every muscle now for

caught up! But, anyway, he felt that he was not too

cared. He was the most handsome young man he had ever seen, and he

he gave her three golden apples. It would be a pity if he had to die.

After that, of course,

Atalanta becomes Meilanion's wife. And he took her with him

his house was far away, and there they lived happily together during the

for years.
