Artemis intended to destroy the region of Calydon because Oineus had ignored the goddess at the time of the first fruit offerings to the gods. In retaliation, she sent a giant boar or wild board. Meleager, the king's son, managed to kill the animal and, as a trophy, offered its skin to Atalanta.
Artémis teve a intenção de destruir a região da Calidónia por Oineus a ter ignorado na oferta dos primeiros frutos aos deuses. Para se vingar enviou um gigantesco javali ou porco-montês. Meleagros, filho do rei, conseguiu mata-lo e, como trofeu, ofereceu a sua pele a Atalanta.
