« ATALANTA SYMBOL OF SPEED AND ENDURANCE ■St?” jS&iufe&foT Atalanta, fair vision of loveliness and daughter of Arcadia’s king, was famed through all of Greece for her winged speed. Lithe as a reed, a goddess of graee, she ran before the very wind, the gay fringe of her garment fluttering behind her. Enamoured of men and beloved by them, she heard with dismay the words of the oracle, “ Atalanta, do not marry, for marriage will be your ruin.” So Atalanta heeckd the saying of the sago and fled from the importunings of her suitors, devoting her days to sports of the chase. But prince and poet would not forget her, and Atalanta could not still their pleadings. Finally she said, “ I shall marry him who will best me a-foot, but who tries and fails shall lose his life.” And some of the bright glory of Greece was dimmed by those who gave their lives in futile attempts to win her. But Hippomenes, enchanted by her beauty, was undaunted. In his distraction he appealed to Venus who, unseen, placed three golden apples in his hand. Then Hippomenes offered himself for the contest. They raced. Each time Atalanta sped past him he flung before her a glittering apple of gold ; and each time Atalanta paused in her flight to gather it up. And by this ruse, Hippomenes won her hand. Grecian mythology has given us this legend of Atalanta, lady of loveliness and goddess of grace. Her graceful speed and endurance find their counterpart in the STUDEBAKER Car.
