Goddess Atalanta's Roman name?
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.
When Atalanta broke her vow by marrying Hippomenes did she dishonor Artemis?
Most likely Artemis was mad though she did not punish her. It is not told in the story whether or not she was mad
What was Atalanta's personality in Greek mythology?
Atalanta, having grown up in the wilderness, became a fierce huntress and was always armed. It is said that she took an oath of virginity to the goddess Artemis. When two centaurs Rhoikos and Hylaios tried to rape her, Atalanta killed them.
Who did Artemis turn into a bear when she discovered she was pregnant?
I have never heard of a Greek myth that retells such a happening; Artemis was associated with bears and the birth of a child/young animal. This might be a confusion over the raising of Atalanta who was suckled by a bear and was the favorite of Artemis.

Why does Artemis send a boar to attack Calydon?
The king of Calydon, Oeneus, accidentally left Artemis out of the normal annual sacrifices. This angered Artemis, so she sent the boar to punish Oeneus, and show him just how important she was.When Oeneus's son, Meleager put together a hunt to kill the boar, Artemis sent the huntress Atalanta (in some versions a human form of herself) to join the hunt, because she knew having a woman there would disrupt proceedings. She was right, since Atalanta's presence indirectly caused the death of Meleager and his two uncles, as well as the heartbreak (and suicide, in some versions) of Queen Althaea and King Oeneus. Lesson: Don't mess with Greek Gods
Is Atalanta the goddess of the hunt?
No, it's Artemis. Atalanta wasn't even a goddess. She was a mortal.
