About this listen

The heroic story of the only female Argonaut, told by Jennifer Saint, the bestselling author of ELEKTRA and ARIADNE.

When a daughter is born to the King of Arcadia, she brings only disappointment.

Left exposed on a mountainside, the defenceless infant Atalanta, is left to the mercy of a passing mother bear and raised alongside the cubs under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis.

Swearing that she will prove her worth alongside the famed heroes of Greece, Atalanta leaves her forest to join Jason's band of Argonauts. But can she carve out her own place in the legends in a world made for men?

The story of a 'lesser' known Greek hero, completely justified in her place beside Heracles, Perseus and Jason. I really enjoyed this Greek myth retelling, Atalanta is a wonderful hero to examine and this book does just that in the best ways. Exciting adventure and a heartfelt story arc.

Wowzers! An epic tale about the firebrand apprentice of Artemis... the indomitable Atalanta! Expect a roller coaster of emotions that leaves you with the feels. In a totally good way.

"Atalanta!"

I liked this book so much and Beth Eyre narrates it so very very well. A wonderful tale of a wonderfully powerful girl in the age of myths and Gods. So grateful that Jennifer Saint has highlighted that a woman accompanied Jason and the Argonauts on their Quest for the Golden Fleece? Who knew? I certainly didn't.

Atalanta - a forgotten wonder

Enchanting, magical, inspiring and all of the feminist attitude that we need in a heroine. Loved this and Ariadne. About to read Elektra now.

Amazing!

Atlanta is a true female heroine from the Greek myths. Rather than Turing Spider-Man, iron man and James Bond into women , why not use her as a female character?
I felt that the narrator was unable to get in to the awesome confident personality of Atalanta. Narrator seemed to be too polite and humble for the character and personality that Atalanta presents.

An awesome character

This is a lovely version of a classical tale in which the characters are well-developed and you care about their fates. A tale relevant to modern times, especially if you are a woman.

An engaging story beautifully read.
