«Atalanta» is the Greek mythology novel by Gianni Rodari, published by Panamericana Editorial in paperback (140 pages, in Spanish).
Atalanta, daughter of King Iasus, is abandoned at birth in a forest; a she-bear nurses her and the goddess Diana takes her in. As a young woman, she decides to explore the world of men and joins the adventures of heroes such as Meleager, Theseus, Jason and Hercules. Rodari recreates the Greek myths with narrative mastery, and the love of Melanion will test her courage.

For his lasting contribution as a children's author, he received the biennial Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1970. He is considered Italy's most important 20th-century children's author, and his books have been translated into many languages, though few have been published in English.
