What is the name of the mythological runner?
The most famous "runner" in the Greek and Roman mythologies is Atalanta. According to the mythologies, Atalanta was the daughter or Iasus who was king of the Arcadians. Iasus wanted a son, so when Atalanta was born, he abandoned her on top of a mountain. Atalanta survived and grew up in the wilderness, where she became a fierce hunter and gave an oath of virginity to the goddess Artemis. Eventually, Iasus re-discovered her and wanted her to marry. Not wanting to be married, Atalanta agreed to marry only if her suitors could beat her in a footrace, but if they lost to her, then they'd be killed. After many attempts (and with some trickery) Hippomenes was able to defeat Atalanta in a race and marry her.
