Atalanta by Jennifer Saint
4.0
I had not heard of Atalanta until I read this book. Very well written. I really enjoyed this story.
Atalanta was left in the forest by her father - abandoned upon birth to Nature. Adopted by a bear mother, she grew up among cubs. As a young child, taken in by Artemis. Living in Artemis' forest with nymphs, Atalanta grows up shielded and naïve among the nymphs.
Artemis sends Atalanta into town to join Jason and his Argonauts' quest for the Golden Fleece.
Atalanta learns women carry it all - the punishment for rape; raising children after sex with men; men continue on quests while women are stuck home with the children.
Atalanta struggles to be her true self - discovering her own wishes and wants.
Highly recommend.
