Description



About the Book



Some three thousand years ago, the warriors of Greece journeyed to the ends of the earth in the quest for the Golden Fleece. One woman fought alongside them.



Book Synopsis



When the king of Pagasae left his infant daughter on the slopes of a mountain to die, he believed he would never see her again. But Atalanta, against the will of the gods and the dictates of the Fates, survived--and went on to bring to life one of the greatest legends of all of ancient Greece . . .

Teaching herself to hunt and fight, Atalanta is determined to prove her worth to her father and, disguising herself as a man, she wins a place on the greatest voyage of that heroic age: the journey of Jason and the Argonauts to the very ends of the known world in search of the legendary Golden Fleece. But Atalanta is discovered, and abandoned in the mythical land of Colchis, where she is forced to make a choice that will determine her place in history.

Here then is the legend of Jason and the Argonauts as never told before: the true story of the princess who sailed and fought alongside Jason and Theseus and Peleus (father of Achilles), and who ultimately ran a race that would decide her destiny. Based on the myths of the ancient Greeks, For the Winner brings alive a mythological world where the gods can transform a mortal's life on a whim, where warrior heroes carve out names that will echo down the ages--and where one woman fights to determine her own fate.



Review Quotes




"Atalanta fights for the throne not because she wants power for its own sake, but to protect those

weaker than herself. Despite the will of the gods, she is very clearly in charge of her own destiny. It

is this mixture of feminism and self-determination which makes For the Winner a very modern and

relevant novel." --Historical Novels Review

"Kudos to Hauser for presenting a rousing tale of adventure and adversary, featuring a feminist

heroine for the ages." --Booklist
