1 janv. 1242 av. J.-C. - Footrace

Description:

After the fame of winning the Calydonian Boar Hunt, Atalanta is reunited with her father Iasus, King of Arcadia. Iasus immediately seeks to marry his daughter. She demands that she will only marry someone who bests her in a footrace. Hippomenes, with assistance from Aphrodite, wins the race through trickery and marries the huntress. Hippomenes forgot to pay the tribute to Aphrodite he had promised for helping him, and consequently, during the two's stay at Cybele's temple, Aphrodite caused them to have sex after going mad with lust, knowing that this would offend Cybele, and this indeed resulted in Cybele transforming them into lions. Thereafter they drew Cybele's chariot.
