Ariadne

Greek mythology

in Greek mythology, daughter of Pasiphae and the Cretan king Minos. She fell in love with the Athenian hero Theseus and, with a thread or glittering jewels, helped him escape the Labyrinth after he slew the Minotaur, a beast half bull and half man that Minos kept in the Labyrinth. Here the legends diverge: she was abandoned by Theseus and hanged herself; or, Theseus carried her to Naxos and left her there to die, and she was rescued by and married the god Dionysus.

Ancient Greek poets and artists liked to portray Ariadne asleep on the shore of Naxos while Dionysus gazes at her with love and admiration. Ariadne's story was later taken up by European artists, writers, and composers, including Richard Strauss in his opera Ariadne auf Naxos (1912; Ariadne on Naxos). In ancient art Ariadne frequently appears as the consort of Dionysus, sometimes with their children.
