Ariadne
Ἀριάδνη
The Cretan princess who gave Theseus his way out of the Labyrinth.
She handed him a ball of thread to retrace his path through the maze. In truth, it was the thread that defeated the Minotaur.
She sailed away with him — and was left behind on the island of Naxos.
There Dionysus took her as his wife, and her wedding crown was set among the stars as the Northern Crown, Corona Borealis.
