Atalanta was the best hunter and runner. her father wished for her to find a suitor and marry. She did not want to be married so she told her father that she would marry any man who could outrun her. Many suitors tried to beat her and when she won she killed them. One day she was going to race a young suitor Hippomenes who knew he could not win against her so he prayed to Aphrodite for help. She gave him three golden apples that would distract Atalanta to stop for the apples giving him enough time to beat her in the race.
