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?

Enchanting retelling of one of my favourite Greek myths, with just the right level of embellishment. Perfectly narrated too. Very much enjoyed this!

A god fictionalisation of the myths - there is more to the myths of Atlanta - I wish she had focused on the less popular ones

Well done

Atalanta has always been a captivating figure in mythology for me and Jennifer has wonderfully woven together her stories. Beautifully narrated by Beth Eyre

Impeccable narration. Witty storyline. I truly enjoyed every moment of it. Who know a woman had bested the male crew of the Argo?

Triumphant

I had never heard of Atlanta before and was interested to hear about her story, she was a great protagonist and the interaction with other mythical legends made for a rich story

I enjoyed the story very much. And such an excellent narrator; her voice is warm, grounded, and open, and her pronunciation is excellent too. This book is a really enjoyable way to dive into Greek mythology.

Brilliant narration

This book started out strong and by halfway in the book I was very much a fan. But the ending of the book was its undoing. I’m certain this was not an easy book for the author to write, and overall it’s done very well but the ending left me wanting so much more

Until the end this book was a solid four
