Kurzfassung:
The mythological episode of the Calydonian boar-hunting was likely to hold the attention of writers in the late XIXth and early XXth century. By means of two poems. English and German (Swinburne-' s Atalanta in Calydon (1865) and Emil Ludwig's Atalanta (1911)), this article aims at pointing ont the feminisation of this hunting scene, through the conflict between the maiden huntress Atalanta, and Alrhea, Mcleager's mother. Repelled by the male group of hunters, envied by an over-protective mother, Atalanta is blamed for her ability when wielding a bow better than a spindle. And the hunting results in a duel between the two women, while the monstruous beast and the enamoured man are lying defeated.
