Atalanta decided to go to Calydon primarily to participate in the hunting of the Calydonian Boar, which was a significant event in Greek mythology. The boar had been sent by Artemis to ravage the region as punishment for King Oeneus's neglect in honoring the goddess. Atalanta, being a skilled hunter, sought to prove her abilities and gain recognition among her peers, challenging traditional gender roles by joining the predominantly male group of hunters. Her involvement in the hunt ultimately highlights themes of bravery, skill, and the pursuit of glory.

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.
