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?

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
