Go For the Gold, Atalanta! / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: Traditionally, Atalanta pursues the golden apples due to either Gold Fever or hypnosis. In this telling, she pursues the golden apples to pay off a ransom on the life of Prince Meleager of Calydonia. In addition, in the original myth, anyone who lost to Atalanta would also forfeit his life, while in this telling, that's not a condition to race her.

Go For the Gold, Atalanta! / int_4a5fcde	comment	Adaptational Alternate Ending: After Atalanta marries Melanion in the original myth, they don't properly honor Aphrodite, and get turned into lions as punishment. They don't get married in this book, preventing the incident that turned them into lions from ever occurring. When Stone Arch added a traditional retelling of Atalanta's story to the back, that version also left out this incident, by ending at the wedding.

Go For the Gold, Atalanta! / int_650a309b	type	Forgot About His Powers
Go For the Gold, Atalanta! / int_650a309b	comment	Forgot About His Powers: A justified variation. Hades, when he tries to hide from mortals who might catch him looking undignified, mentions to himself that over the centuries, he has relied on his Helmet of Darkness (which turns him invisible when he puts it on) to get out of scrapes so many times that he doesn't remember the spells to change into something that looks like it belongs there, and needs to come up with another plan quickly since he's left the Helmet at home. He knows he has the powers, he's just forgotten how to use them. May overlap with How Do I Shot Web?, though he doesn't try.
