Which detail from "Atalanta, the Fleet-Footed Huntress" best conveys the theme "How one behaves is more important than one's gender"? Atalanta falls for Hippomenes's trick of throwing the apples because she has become interested in him. Many of the men hoot and laugh at the thought of Atalanta going on the boar hunt and refuse to go. Atalanta takes pity on another and never allows the taunts of others to keep her from running and hunting. Many warriors choose to race against Atalanta, thinking they can outrun her and win her heart.
