The King thought that since Atalanta was not a boy, she was not worth bringing up.
King Iasius. He abandoned her at birth because she was a girl and he wanted a son.
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.

Atalanta, uninterested in marriage, agreed to marry only if her suitors could outrun her, though fully armed, in a footrace. King Schoineus agreed and many young men died in the attempt until Melanion (or Hippomenes) came along. Melanion asked the goddess Aphrodite for help and she gave him three golden apples to toss as Atalanta caught up, in order to slow her down. If it can be called a "weakness"; then the golden apples of Aphrodite.
After Sir Mordred killed King Arthur a man by the name of Constantine took his place. This is not a true story though. King Arthur was not really a king so no one could have taken his place.

Atalanta was not a goddess because she was a mortal, born to mortal parents, King Iasus of Arcadia and Clymene the daughter of Minyas. It is possible that she could be a demigod(des) by way of her maternal grandfather (Minyas) who may have been a child of Poseidon.
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.
