Synopsis "Atalanta, Daedalus and Icarus, Diomedes"

Atalanta Abandoned on a mountainside as a baby by her father, Atalanta was reared by a bear and later by two hunters, before becoming the best tracker in Greece as well as an excellent archer, wrestler, and athlete. She also participated in the Calydonian Boar Hunt, and according to some accounts, sailed with Jason in the Quest for the Golden Fleece. Daedalus and Icarus The classic story of Daedalus, the engineer and inventor, who built The Labyrinth to house The Minotaur, assisted Theseus in his escape from Knossos after he killed the Minotaur, and then escaped the island by making wings of wax and feathers for himself and his son, Icarus. Diomedes Diomedes was one of ancient Greece's fiercest warriors and played a significant part in the fall of Troy, probably more so than Achilles, who was absent for most of the time after falling out with Agamemnon over Briseis. Before the battle for Troy, he had avenged this father, who had with the Seven Against Thebes, failed to take the city. Diomedes, along with the Epigoni, the sons of the seven, succeeded where their fathers had failed. 'He fights with rage and fills men's souls with dread. I hold him greatest of them all; we did not fear even their great champion Achilles, son of an immortal though he be, as we do this man: his rage is beyond all bounds, and there is none can vie with him in prowess." (Hector's brother Helenus describing Diomedes. The Iliad Book VI)
