Answer 2

Letter C) Atalanta tells the men if they want to marry her, they must beat her in a race or lose their life if she wins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Atalanta is a mythological character, a huntress that only survived being abandoned as an infant due to the goddess Artemis' protection. Atalanta was brought up by hunters and grew up to be the fastest woman ever seen. She was very skilled, determined, and strong, being capable of great things. She defeated Achilles' father in a competition and helped kill the Calydonian Boar, a savage creature sent by Artemis to destroy the fields.

When several suitors decided they wanted to marry her, she was unwilling to do so. Knowing that no one could beat her, she proposed that they raced against her. The one who ran faster than her would become her husband, but those who lost would have to die. As expected, she was too fast for them to beat, so a certain suitor, Melanion, appealed to the goddess Aphrodite for help. She gave him golden apples and told him to throw them on the ground during the race. Atalanta couldn't help but stop to pick them up, thus losing the race.
