Atalanta, a virgin of excelling beauty and of wonderful disposition of body, to disengage herself from the crowd of a thousand suitors who sought her in marriage, made this proposition, that she would accept of him for her husband who should equal her in running, upon condition that they who failed should lose their lives.
Atalantek, edertasun bikaineko eta antolatze miresgarriko neskak, ezkont-eskarian zeukan mila jarraitunen metatik libratzeko, lege hau eman zien, onartuko zuela lasterrean berdinduko zuena, huts eginen zutenek bizia galtzen bazuten.
