She would always outrun her suitors, and they would be put to death for losing. That was until one man, Hippomenes, beat her with cunning. He prayed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to provide him the means to win Atalanta's footrace. Aphrodite gave Hippomenes three gold apples, telling him to drop one at a time to distract her. When he participated in the footrace, Atalanta would stop and pick it up every apple Hippomenes dropped. Hippomenes won the race and took Atalanta's hand in marriage.]]> 2021-10-28 18:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mabbadessa/wcqii4vyptk2h1w/wish/1852155502 By: Kirill Seus kirseus https://padlet.com/mabbadessa/wcqii4vyptk2h1w/wish/1865041987 Aphrodites:

Her mother, the queen, was Cassiope.
When Cassiope boasted that Andromeda was more beautiful than the sea-nymphs, they complained to Poseidon.
The insult was retaliated against  by flooding the land and sending a sea-monster to ravage the coast.
To avoid further devastation, Andromeda was offered as a sacrifice to a sea-monster so that the deities would be appeased.
She was chained and left on a rock beside a cliff. Fortunately for her, Perseus flew past the spectacle straight after the battle with Medusa.
Perseus fell in love with Andromeda at first sight and wanted to marry her. All he had to do was save her.
The story was suitably immortalized in the stars with the constellation of Andromeda.

While the two lovers were together, the sun shone brightly and the soil was kind to the people, flowers bloomed and fruits ripened. Adonis’ disappearance could only mean that the time for the harvest of the crops had come; because, during the next four months, while the mortal slept in the embrace of Persephone, winter ruled the world and everything was dead and quiet.]]> 2021-11-05 14:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mabbadessa/wcqii4vyptk2h1w/wish/1870093565
