Original artwork description
In Greek mythology, Ariadne was the daughter of Minos, who put her in charge of the labyrinth where the Minotaur lived at the center.
Sacrifices were made in the labyrinth as part of reparations either to Poseidon or Athena (depending on the version of the myth). Later, she helped Theseus conquer the Minotaur and save victims from sacrifice.
In other versions of the myth, she was the bride of Dionysus. Her status as mortal or divine varied.
