Chione caught the eye of Hermes and she gave birth to Autolycus- the father of Laertes who proved himself in both the hunt for the Calydonian boar and the quest for the Golden Fleece. Laertes was the father of Odysseus.
Hunting the Calydonian boar, holding the fatal footrace for her suitors, and (in some versions) joining Jason and the Argonauts on the quest for the golden fleece.
In Greek mythology, the Calydonian Boar was a monstrous creature sent by the goddess Artemis to ravage the region of Calydon. It was not a "clazmonian sow" but rather a boar. The boar was eventually slain in a hunt organized by the hero Meleager, who gathered a group of renowned hunters to track and kill the beast.
When she was born, her father abandoned her in the wilderness because he had wanted a son. She was found and raised by a she-bear sent by the goddess Artemis. Later, a hunter found her and adopted her. She became famous for her fleetness of foot. Her foster father took her to athletic games and she won all the races. Soon her father claimed her as his long-lost daughter (hypocrite!). Later she was in the Calydonian Boar Hunt.
Atalanta was not a goddess, but a person in Greek mythology. she was a huntress famous for her speed and skill. She took part in the Calydonian hunt and was rewarded by Meleager with the pelt of the boar. Later, warned by an oracle not to marry, she demanded that each suitor run a race with her, on the condition that the winner would marry her and the losers would die. Hippomenes won the race by dropping three golden apples which Atalanta stopped to retrieve.
