Week two reading

I am a little confused in the story but I think its saying that there’s a young boy that is now a grown man and he was born through an unethical relationship? (He) tells Atlanta to get a husband but she doesn’t want to get married so she runs away and dares the men to chase her in order to marry her. She warns them by saying who ever doesn’t marry her will die. Hippomenes (Neptune’s grandson) realizes that many people are chasing her but he doesn’t understand why because he doesn’t find her attractive. She’s not happy with the winner and isn’t sure why she really likes him. Hippomenes approaches Atlanta and tells her to fight it out with him because he is the greatest. Atlanta agrees because she doesn’t think he will win. Everyone is encouraging Hippomenes to pull the trigger and go battle Atlanta. Atlanta tells herself that she really only likes Hippomenes for his youth look. He then got married and entered a place that he shouldn’t have and they got punished for that and their appearance changed entirely because of him. Adonis dies and Cyprus promises to always remember Adonis and then she basically put soil on top of Adonis and a red flower grew out of it.
