When she was older she entered many competitions but, she was best at the footrace! The king (her father) ordered her to come to the palace at once. Then, they found out that they are father and daughter. Her father then ordered her to wed. Atalanta agreed to only wed if the man beat her in a foot race. If they failed they would die. Many men tried but, many men failed. Then one man came and used these three golden apples that afrediti gave to him soon Atalanta was to distracted by the pure gold that she lost the race.
