Explanation:
The Greek mythology of Atalanta tells the story of the human huntress who was so adamant about being victorious over everyone and staying unmarried forever. But when Hippomenes came and participated in the competition for her hand in marriage, she 'intentionally' let him win so as to be married to him.
In the given excerpt, Atlanta was kept distracted by Hippomenes by using the three magical golden apples given by Aphrodite. Though distracted by the golden apples, she was also a bit interested in Hippomenes that she did not mind letting him win. She observed,<em> "He was the finest young man that she had ever seen, he had given her three golden apples, and he had risked his life to win her."
