@art_sy_: Hippomenes and Atalanta - Noël Hallé (1765 - Louvre Museum, France) After the race, Hippomenes forgot to thank Aphrodite for her help. While the couple were out hunting, the goddess filled them with such desire that they coupled in a sanctuary. As punishment for this sacrilege, they were transformed into lions. #art #painting #painting #museum
So he cheated… that’s literally the only way he could have won…by cheating.

Somebody that I used to know :
I know he cheated...HOWEVER, I like the version where Atlanta CHOOSES to stop and pick up the apples because she likes him and doesn't want to end him. I also like to imagine he's a weaker dude compared to Atlanta's suitors but is a hopeless romantic that she senses will be a kind husband...but idk, that's just my personal headcanon of Greek myths

Is this where “giving an apple to someone meant romantic interest” came from? God of War had a scene like that

important part of the story!!!! other suitors prayed to conquering gods like Ares, but HE prayed to Aphrodite, goddess of love. he didn't want to conquer her, he wanted to love her 🥰

Didn’t he have to figure out her weakness before hand? Basically she liked shiny things so Gold secured the dub

Mind you this was after her expedition with the Argonauts. Imagine being a skilled and seasoned huntress, like the goddess that favored you, and still having to marry lol.

I thought the twist was gonna be since she lost she had to be put to death, bc she knew one day someone would beat her so she hid her way out right under everyone’s noses

the version i got told was, he kept running the race over and over and he would tell her that he was going to marry her, and when he dropped the apples she chose to pick them up

So he cheated, and because HE didn’t thank a goddess she made the gods equivelant of spiking an innocent woman’s drink and THEN turned her into a lion……
