About this listen

The heroic story of the only female Argonaut, told by Jennifer Saint, the bestselling author of ELEKTRA and ARIADNE.

When a daughter is born to the King of Arcadia, she brings only disappointment.

Left exposed on a mountainside, the defenceless infant Atalanta, is left to the mercy of a passing mother bear and raised alongside the cubs under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis.

Swearing that she will prove her worth alongside the famed heroes of Greece, Atalanta leaves her forest to join Jason's band of Argonauts. But can she carve out her own place in the legends in a world made for men?

I knew nothing of the story of Atalanta before reading this - TBH all I knew about Jason and the Argonauts was from that old Harryhausen film ;-) I really enjoyed this reading. I particularly enjoyed the ending.

I downloaded my first Jennifer Saint book two weeks ago (Ariadne) and have since listened to Elektra and Atalanta. Loved them all, I’ve bought a ticket to see the Author in January 2024 at a library!
Wonderful, wonderful books!

Can’t wait for the next one!

Loved it!

An excellent story performed very well. Atalanta is somehow even more thrilling than Saint's other great titles Ariadne and Electra.

Saint's best book yet
