Did you know that there was a female Argonaut? I certainly didn’t, so I was only too delighted to find out more about this brave and courageous individual.Ītalanta, on birth, had her destiny marked out for her. But can she carve out her own place in the legends in a world made for men? Ītalanta by Jennifer Saint published April 13th with Wildfire Books and is described as ‘the mesmerising story of the only female Argonaut‘. Swearing that she will prove her worth alongside the famed heroes of Greece, Atalanta leaves her forest to join Jason’s band of Argonauts. Left exposed on a mountainside, the defenceless infant Atalanta is left to the mercy of a passing mother bear and raised alongside the cubs under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis. When a daughter is born to the King of Arcadia, she brings only disappointment.
