Setting in The Story of Atalanta

Arcadia

Beside her adventures abroad with the Argonauts, Atalanta spends most of her time in her home region of Arcadia. We can totally see why, too. The mountainous region of Arcadia was known for being wild and full of untouched nature. What better place for a tough huntress to hang out, right? Even into the age of the Renaissance, the region of Arcadia was associated with natural beauty and was seen as a place where people could chill out and get back to a simple, pastoral way of living.
