Atalanta manages to get a shot in at Diana’s boar, but there is always That Asshole, and this one (Ancaeus) goes:

“All right, boys, let’s find out how much a man’s weapons
Outweigh a girl’s. Leave this to me. I don’t care
If Diana herself protects this boar with her arrows.
I’m taking this animal down, Diana or not!” (8.444-7)

*five minutes later*

Cause of death: boar.
