Atalanta is the name of the fast-legged beauty of the heroine of ancient Greek mythology. She invited each of the seekers of her hand to compete on the run, and he, unarmed, had to run ahead, she followed with a spear. She was ready to admit with her fiancé that he would be ahead of her in this contest, otherwise he would be inevitable death. Many young men fell at her hand, while Hippomenus outwitted her with the help of golden apples plucked from the magic garden of the Hesperides and transferred to him by her patroness, the goddess of love Aphrodite (Venus). During the run, he dropped them one by one, lifting them, Atalanta fell behind, and Hippomenus was the first to reach the goal and achieved her hand.
This legend attracted the attention of medieval alchemists, many of whom were also jewelers. It was customary for them to hide, under mythical names, from the uninitiated, the processes occurring with substances as a result of their experiments. “Great Deed” - the process of obtaining gold using the philosopher's stone; they called The Escaping Atalanta. Apparently likening those who, having spent their lives chasing the receipt of precious metal, already in anticipation of close success found that luck once again ran away from them; with the grooms of the beautiful Atalanta. But there were units who, having gone through the “Great Deed” of receiving human wisdom, comprehended new heights of spiritual and scientific knowledge, created masterpieces of jewelry art and thereby caught up with their “Atalanta”.
Alchemical epigram :
From the garden of the Hesperides a beautiful young man carried away
Priceless three fruits, gift of Cyprus.
One by one, he throws them to the ground
Before the swift-footed Virgin;
Faster than the wind rushes for a new gift.
Then she will go one step, then she will run again,
Until the third fetus in love loses:
Then only Atalanta will give the prize.
