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.
In Greek mythology, Atalanta is a virgin who hunts and does not want to marry. She is loved by Meleager. She was left to die on a mountain by her father and was raised as a huntress and later reunited with her father.
Indeed, she was said to be so fair that she attracted a plethora of suitors, all of whom were willing to die for her.
