E-text prepared by Al Haines "Atalanta in Calydon" by Algernon Charles Swinburne is a tragedy written in the late 19th century. This poetic drama explores themes of fate, love, and honor, focusing on the characters of Meleager, Althaea, and Atalanta as they navigate the dramatic consequences of vengeance and familial conflict in the ancient land of Calydon. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the dire state of Calydon, cursed by the goddess Artemis for neglecting her in a sacrifice. Althaea, the mother of Meleager, recalls a prophetic dream during her pregnancy that foretold her son's fate being linked to a burning brand. As the narrative unfolds, a fierce boar wreaks havoc in the land, prompting a great hunt in which the bold Atalanta participates. Tensions rise among the hunters, particularly involving Meleager, who becomes embroiled in conflict with his uncles, ultimately leading to a tragic chain of events driven by passion, vengeance, and familial duty.
