Atalanta won footraces against all of her potential suitors until Hippomenes distracted her by dropping 3 Golden Apples.
In Greek mythology, it was deadly to lose a race to Atalanta. She was a swift-footed huntress who challenged suitors to a footrace, promising to marry the one who could defeat her. However, those who lost faced death, as she would kill them. The hero Melanion, aided by the goddess Aphrodite, ultimately won the race by using golden apples to distract Atalanta.

Riordan loves Mythology a lot. His brothers and sisters were in to it too. He got into the spirit of it and decided to go far in life and wrote a lot of books on mythology and won over peoples minds, so he finds it very interesting and love to read about myths!
