(A.N) I literally just realize that I have been talking about Greek God's instead of myths. Sure half of the story might have been about popular myths there in. But that's not good enough! So here you go, a actual Greek myth..... actually this is literally the exact same thing.
You can yell at me in the comment section if you want.

     Atlanta. Ummmmmm..... Most of you probably already know about. She's a super cool girl that can kick ass. Her parents didn't want her and left her on a mountain to die, but a bear came to save her and kept her as one of her own. Also a bear is seen as a symbol of Artemis which will correlate later on.Then she was found by some hunters and brought to civilization. After that she grows up to be a huntress that can beat up people and still have good looks.
     Then one day, king Oeneus forgot to give a sacrifice to Artemis, and that really ticks her off. Artemis then was just like, "Wait, where's my sacrifice....? Well then... I guess I'll just kill everyone in the town.". She then sends a giant fu*king boar to destroy the kingdom. So then Oeneus called up the most bravest hunters to kill the Calydonian boar.( That's the boars name). Atlanta being the brave hunter she was went up there to help. But the rest of the hunters didn't want a woman to go hunt with them, so they started trying to get her to leave. After some trash talk Meleager, a younger hunter, told them to stop and..... they didn't. Instead they all got into a giant fight. After that they found the boar and Atalanta stabbed it, then Meleager got the final hit and gave Atalanta the skin of the boar.
     Meleager's uncles got mad and took the skin away from Atalanta, which made Meleager mad, and he decided to kill them. Meleager's mom then heard about her brothers death and threw a piece of wood into a fire which caused him to die. If you guys don't understand how that works I'll have to explain. So Meleager's life span is weird because it's conected to a piece of wood, if the wood burns up he dies. Now we can continue on with the story. So after that happens Atalanta's parents hear about her and her popularity grows really big.

The end....

Wait no. I have to make this chapter longer. Ummmm, how about we talk about how Atalanta killed a lot of people and then got herself a husband!

When Atalanta's dad found her he said that he wanted her to get married. Atalanta didn't want to get married, but her dad begged her. She said that she would marry someone if they could beat her in a simple footrace. Simple right? Well no, if you lost she would murder you. And plus she was raised by bears. She could probably run fifty miles with no problems. So after a bunch of people tried to beat her and died this guy named Hippomenes. He was nice and stuff but he sucked at running. But he did have the goddess of love on his side, Aphrodite. She gave him three golden apples to distract Atalanta with. This worked because Atalanta likes shiny things apparently, and then they get married. I'm not gonna say what happens after they get married because it's confusing and inappropriate.

The end.
