Fell in love with Athena melons.. anything else compare?

The nursery near me had seedlings last year for 99c, so I gave them a try and Mmmmmmmmm! Best melons I've ever grown! I've tried minnesota midget and something else, but I didn't like the flavor. The athena had such a nice flavor to it. Only trouble is, I can't find the seeds them locally, just online and they're too much $ IMO. Is there any other melon that has such a nice flavor? I wanted to plant a whole row. I could get seedlings again, but it would be a lot for one whole row.. plus I asked if they sold the seeds and they said no, which I figured :)

Sorry, I have not tried Athena. No way to compare flavors. Here is the one I grow. It has been productive and flavorful.

OK, I think I'll try it. thanks! I'll get a few seedlings too and do a little of each, that should make it perfect!
