At the Altes Museum in Berlin is a temporary exhibition 'Goddesses & Consorts' (Göttinnen & Gattinnen) which runs until 16 March 2025. I show here two depictions of the mythological figure Atalante. Both objects, the vase painting and the relief, show here fighting against the nobleman Peleus at funeral games of king Pelias. On both images the fight looks like a draw.
