Classicstober Day 17: Atalanta (𐀀𐀲𐀨𐀙)
One of the few women in Greek mythology who is known for her own sake. She was an athlete without peer, raised by bears, and she even sailed with Jason on the Argo (depending on what version you like).
Unlike most of my pieces for Classicstober, refreshingly little research needed to be put into Atalanta. The best descriptions of her I could find described her with a sleeveless knee-length tunic, so that's what I drew. Although I still imagine her living in the Mycenaean period, her outfit is a bit of a call-forward to the classical Greek tradition of folding a sheet in half and calling it a garment.
Atalanta's story is really cool, if a bit muddied on account of there being apparently two separate canons about two separate women named 'Atalanta,' but I prefer the interpretation of both these accounts being true and filling her life with bold, free adventure. I'm not deluding myself about how her story ends, but I did not want to show that. I just wanted to see her running free and wild through Arcadia.

just in case I never finish this. i'm also taking some elements from her later sprites since I don't like those 'noodles' of energy (rings?) on her game 1 sprite.
