In Greek mythology, Ariadne is the daughter of Minos, the King of Crete. She falls madly in love with Theseus and gives him the ball of thread that later allows him to escape the labyrinth after killing the Minotaur. She elopes with him to Athens. But he abandons her, asleep, on the island of Naxos.
