With the publication of Atalanta in Calydon in 1865, Swinburne became famous andwas welcomed "to an honourable place among younger poets of England". Aside fromhis juvenilia, The Queen Mother and Rosamond, issued in 1860, Atalanta was virtually hisfirst important work, because we can find in it almost all Swinburnian traits that he wasto develop further in his later works.From the legendary story of Meleager and the boar hunting which Homer, Euripidesand Ovid had told, Swinburne created his own tragic version of the myth. ThoughSwinburne thought that Atalanta was "pure Greek", it was not necessarily so because ofits Swinburnian antitheism and aestheticism. Throughout this drama, Heraclitean ideathat "Παντα ρει" is repeatedly expressed.Althaea urges her son to serve the gods' law and social customs, while Meleagerrespects "great things done" that "endure". Chief Huntsman, Chorus and Althaea worshipand implore Artemis, the goddess of moon, chastity, hunting and death, while Meleagerwishes to be praised by Apollo, the god of sun and art. Artemis, Aphrodite andAtalanta are all represented as femmes fatales.Though Meleager dies a tragic death, he acquires an eternal fame for "what he didin his good time". Like Balen and Tristram, Meleager lives an everlasting life in theworld of art, because his "great deeds" have been told by the artists who have immortalsoul. Atalanta is a meta-poem and embodies "art for art's sake" like Swinburne's otherexcellent works.
