Ariadne
Ariadne (; (ギリシア語:Ἀριάδνη); (ラテン語:Ariadne)), in Greek mythology, was the daughter of Minos, King of Crete,〔Homer, ''Odyssey'' 11.320, Hesiod, ''Theogony'' 947, and later authors.〕 and his queen Pasiphaë, daughter of Helios.〔Pasiphaë is mentioned as Ariadne's mother in ''Bibliotheke'' 3.1.2 (Pasiphaë, daughter of the Sun), in Apollonius' ''Argonautica'' iii.997, and in Hyginus ''Fabulae'', 224.〕 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 would-be 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.〔In creating a "biography" for a historicized Ariadne, her presence on Naxos is accounted for by Theseus' having abandoned her there; in assembling a set of biographical narrative episodes, this would have had to be placed "after" her abduction from Knossos. In keeping with the role of Minos as Crete's king, Ariadne has come to bear the late designation of "princess". The endpoint of this rationalizing process is the realistic historicizing fiction of Mary Renault, ''The Bull from the Sea'' (1962).〕〔Sidhe, Fiana. ("Goddess Ariadne in the Spotlight" ),''MatriFocus'', 2002.〕
==Minos and Theseus==
Since ancient Greek myths are passed down through oral tradition, many variations of this and other myths exist. According to an Athenian version of the legend, Minos attacked Athens after his son was killed there. The Athenians asked for terms, and were required to sacrifice seven young men and seven maidens to the Minotaur every seven or nine years. One year, the sacrificial party included Theseus, the son of King Aegeus, who volunteered to come and kill the Minotaur. Ariadne fell in love at first sight, and helped him by giving him a sword and a ball of thread, so that he could find his way out of the Minotaur's labyrinth.
She eloped with Theseus after he achieved his goal, but according to Homer "he had no joy of her, for ere that, Artemis slew her in seagirt Dia because of the witness of Dionysus" (''Odyssey'' (XI, 321-5 )). Homer does not expand on the nature of Dionysus's accusation, but the ''Oxford Classical Dictionary'' speculates that she was already married to Dionysus when Theseus ran away with her.
