  Ariadne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ariadne, in Greek mythology, was daughter of King Minos of Crete and his queen, Pasiphae.
With Dionysus, she was the mother of Oenopion, the personification of wine, and was set in the heavens as the constellation Corona.
Her name is merely an epithet, for she was originally the "Mistress of the Labyrinth", both a prison with the dreaded Minotaur at its centre and a winding dance-ground.
