Reading Atalanta in Calydon | Alexandria
Read Atalanta in Calydon by Algernon Charles Swinburne. Exploring how an icon of Victorian poetry dared question divine justice through pagan Greek myth, challenging faith itself. When Swinburne pitted human will against cruel gods in Atalanta, he sparked a radical idea: perhaps the divine isn't inherently good - a thought that still unsettles our assumptions about morality and power.
