Atalanta
Atalanta was a beautiful Greek princess, not a goddess, (although some believe that she was a member of Artemis's [or Roman Diana's] Hunt) so she went by Atalanta in both Roman and Greek culture.
Atalanta was not a goddess because she was a mortal, born to mortal parents, King Iasus of Arcadia and Clymene the daughter of Minyas. It is possible that she could be a demigod(des) by way of her maternal grandfather (Minyas) who may have been a child of Poseidon.
