Two of my blobs have done a crossover
Okay, let's see if everything fits LOL. In the mythological source in which Atalanta is an Argonaut (Apollodorus' Library), she is from Boeotia (it is said that there are two Atalantas, an Acadian one and a Boeotian one, although they may actually be the same person with two traditions) and is the daughter of Schoeneus. Who is this mf? Well, according to Apollodorus himself and the scholia of Apollonius of Rhodes, he is the son of ATHAMAS AND THEMISTO and a king in Beotia.
What does this mean for me? That Ino has lost this time, sorry Ino, Themisto gave birth to a being capable of conceiving the first female Argonaut. Atalanta's childhood was very unfortunate, but you can't exist without genetic material, and that was Themisto's.
I think the figure of Atalanta was so important in popular culture that two regions claimed her for themselves. But I hc her as the same person.
If someone asks what Schoeneus is doing in Arcadia, I'll tell you that he founded a settlement there, or if we go down that road and Schoeneus is still king in Boeotia and we wonder what Atalanta is doing in the forests of Arcadia, she was left there when she was just a child. The woods of Arcadia are far enough for doing such action if you think geographically in the positions of each region.
