Document Summary
Artemis: atalanta and the calydonian boar artemis sends a boar to the town because the king did not sacrifice their first harvest. A group of men kill the boar, but artemis creates a dispute between the men and a war breaks out. The boar hide is awarded to atalanta, wife of. Her husband won her hand by defeating her in a foot race, throwing three golden apples to distract her: hippolytus he vowed to remain chaste and serve artemis. Aphrodite becomes angry and makes it so phaedra (his step-mother) falls in love with hippolytus. He denies her, and she goes to her husband and tells him that he tried to rape her, so he is killed. Apollo transformed him into a larkspur: the birth of asclepios a great healer, so great that he was able to bring people back from the dead. His snake rod is now a symbol of medicine.
