| Ariadne description |
|---|
| Ariadne (; Greek: ; Latin: Ariadne), in Greek mythology, was the daughter of Minosthe King of Crete and a son of Zeusand PasiphaëMinos' queen and a daughter of Helios. She is mostly associated with mazes and labyrinths because of her involvement in the myths of the Minotaur and Theseus. Her father put her in charge of the labyrinth where sacrifices were made as part of reparations (either to Poseidon or to Athena, depending on the version of the myth); later, she helped Theseus overcome the Minotaur and save the potential sacrificial victims. In other stories, she became the bride of the god Dionysus, with the question of her being mortal or a goddess varying in those accounts. |
