Then Atalanta agreed to marry Hippomenes. And despite her determination not to marry, the two were happy, and might have stayed that way, had not Hippomenes forgotten to burn incense at Aphrodite’s shrine and thank the goddess for her help.

The offended goddess set her heart against Hippomenes and his bride. One day the couple were visiting a shrine of Rhea, the great mother of all the gods. Aphrodite caused Hippomenes to feel a fire of passion for Atalanta, and the two made love in the temple, rousing the fury of Rhea. The great goddess turned them both into lions, and for ever after they were doomed to pull her golden chariot on its journeys around heaven and earth.
