"Atalanta in Calydon" is a lyrical tragedy by Algernon Charles Swinburne that reimagines the Greek myth of Atalanta, a skilled huntress, and the Calydonian boar hunt. The story centers on King Oeneus of Calydon, who neglects Artemis, leading the goddess to unleash a fearsome boar to ravage his land. Atalanta, determined to prove her prowess, joins the hunt. The play explores themes of fate, gender, and divine retribution, as Atalanta's strength contrasts with societal expectations. Ultimately, it raises questions about love, loyalty, and the price of glory in a world ruled by capricious gods and tragic consequences. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
