Melanion was the man who actually beat Atalanta in the race for her hand in marriage. He had the help of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who gave him three golden apples. Melanion would roll them off course to catch Atalanta's curiosity so he could take the lead. He won the race and her hand in marriage. He's also know as Hippomenes.
