Atalanta

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Honestly, I just love the story of Atalanta and this seemed like an ideal way to engage more with her and better the information out there for her.

First Impression: Well put together, organized, some things with language I am excited to delve into.

Evaluate the article
* =Thing to edit


 * Lead:
 * Gives pronunciation of the name in the original language and meaning
 * Gives multiple credible versions of the myth
 * Explains regional variation
 * Parents are brought up only in the lead*
 * Content:
 * All content is relevant
 * Some older sources such as Keith Aldrich Apollodorus translation (1975) I have a more recent one recommended by Dr. Sean Murphy
 * Some odd phrasing here and there
 * Tone and Balance
 * Harsh language used at points, potentially triggering to a reader
 * There's one section, "Jason prevents Atalanta from joining not because she lacks skill but because as a woman she has the potential to cause strife between men on the ship." The cited translation says "but he himself of his own accord prevented the maid, for he feared bitter strife on account of her love." φιλότητος is the word for "love" in the original text, which perseus-tufts defines as friendship, love, affection. Wiktionary cites it as to mean intercourse in epic poetry which Apollonius writes in. Either way the phrasing could use tweaking
 * No overt bias
 * Images and Media
 * Nothing terribly to note, all images are well captioned and fitting.
 * Talk Page Discussion
 * Part of several projects
 * Honestly kind of a hoot
 * Lots of good discussions on nuance
