			Ariadne, daughter of Minos and princess of Crete, is best known as the woman who helped Theseus escape the Labyrinth by giving him a thread to retrace his path after killing the Minotaur. After fleeing with Theseus, she was abandoned on the island of Naxos. There she was discovered by Dionysus, who made her his bride. In many traditions, Ariadne is regarded as Dionysus’s first and most important mortal wife. Their marriage symbolises the transformation of a deserted princess into an immortal queen.

			Dionysus placed her jewelled crown among the stars as the constellation Corona Borealis, and Ariadne was granted immortality to dwell with him among the gods. Her tiara is sometimes also considered the first bridal wreath.
