Details
Race Demigod
Birthplace Theros
Lifetime Mending Era

When Heliod instructed his champion, Daxos, to remove all trace of the other gods from the city of Meletis, Nylea and the other gods, refusing to stand for such an affront, called upon their own champions from the Underworld and made them demigods.

For her champion, Nylea selected Renata, a legendary hunter from Theros past. It is said that when Renata threw her spear, she could hit a boar half a mile away.[1]

Some of Renata's exploits were recounted by Luphea of Setessa in the Histories book. Among Renata's greatest achievements, was the hunt to bring down the Nessian Boar, terror of Setessan wilds.

Inspiration

Renata seems to be inspired by Atalanta, fierce huntress who took an oath to the goddess Artemis. Renata's hunt for the Nessian Boar mirrors Atalanta's hunt for the Calydonian Boar.
