"This Atalanta was exposed by her father, because he desired male children; and a she-bear came often and gave her suck, till hunters found her and brought her up among themselves. Grown to womanhood, Atalanta kept herself a virgin, and hunting in the wilderness she remained always under arms."

This Atalanta was exposed by her father… I hope that's an error in translation.  |

Exposed as in left in a desolate place to die. 'Exposed at birth' which was sometimes used to euthanise deformed babies, if the child died while being exposed at night it was the will of the gods. |
