The Story of Atlanta
The race started and although the men ran very fast, Atlanta
ran faster. As Hippomenes watched , he thought, “how can I
run as fast as Atlanta?” He went to ask for help from the
Greek Goddess of Love. She promised to help him and gave
him three golden apples. She said, “Throw an apple in front
of Atlanta when she is running past and she will be relaxed.
when she stops to pick it up, you will be able to run on and
win.”
