A wind of awakening blowing from the north- To dispel the despair of lifes mockery So that by death their children may live Once again as men- Has called them to resist.

Nor was her beauty inferior to her swiftness of foot; both were beyond praise. When Atalanta asked the oracle about whom she ought to marry, the god replied: Do not take a husband, Atalanta. If you do, it will bring disaster on you. Yet you will not escape, and though you will continue to live, you will not be yourself Terrified by these words, Atalanta lived in the dark woods unmarried. There were many men who wished to marry her, but to them, in their eagerness, she said: No one can have me for his wife unless first he beats me in a race. If you will, you may run with me. If any of you wins, he shall have me as a prize. But those who are defeated will have death for their reward. These are the conditions for the race Cruel indeed she was, but her beauty had such power that numbers of young men were impatient to race with her on these terms. There was a young man called Hippomenes, who had come to watch the contest. At first, he had said to himself: What man in his normal senses would run such a risk to get a wife? and he had condemned the young men for being too madly in love. But when he saw her her face and her body all stripped for the race- a face and a body like Venus own-he was lost in astonishment and, stretching out his hands, he said: I had no right to blame the young men. I did not know what the prize was for which they were running As he spoke his heart caught on fire with love for her and, in jealous fear, he hoped that none of the young men would be able to beat her in the race. Then he said to himself: But why should not I try my fortune? When one takes a risk, the gods help one. By now the race had started and the girl sped past him on feet that seemed to have wings. Though she went fast as an arrow, he admired her beauty still more. Indeed, she looked particularly beautiful when running. In the breeze her hair streamed back over her ivory shoulders; the ribbons with their bright borders fluttered at her knees; the white of her young body flushed rose-red, as when a purple awning is drawn over a white marble and makes the stone glow with its own color. While Hippomenes fixed his eyes on her, she reached the winning post and was crowned with the victors garland. The young men with groans suffered the penalty of death according to the agreement which they had made. Their fate however, had no effect on Hippomenes. He came forward and, fixing his eyes on Atalanta said: Why do you win an easy glory by conquering these slow movers? Now run with me.
