Books

Atalanta: The Wild Girl

The Calydonian Boar looks pretty gnarly on the cover of this comic book, which puts its own spin on the story of Atalanta and Meleager's safari.

Atalanta in Calydon

This verse drama tells the whole story of Atalanta's mad hunting skills and Meleager's tragic fall. Was its genius writer Algernon Charles Swinburne inspired to compose it because his last name almost sounds like "swine burn"? The world may never know.

The Metamorphoses

Ovid gets down and dirty with the version of the hunt in his classic collection of mythological madness.

The Library

You won't find a shushing librarian in this library. Apollodorus's book is full of wild adventures like the hunt for the Calydonian Boar.
