Atalanta Magazine was a British publication for girls back in the late 19th century. (Yeah, kind of like Seventeen, but with brains.)

In Marvel Comics Universe, a super-heroine named Atalanta pops up as a member of the Pantheon and kicks some butt with the Incredible Hulk. (Atalanta would be proud.)

At the finale of the first performances of Atalanta, the opera by Handel, there was a massive fireworks display that had everybody oohing and ahhing. (Sweet!)

Atalanta is the name of a tiny island off of Greece that legend says was torn away from the mainland by an earthquake. (How come Atalanta only gets some pipsqueak island named after her? Just sayin'.)

The Red Admiral, a type of butterfly, has the scientific name of vanessa atalanta. (We know Atalanta, but who the heck is Vanessa?)
