Very little is known of Ariande, she was lovely, and her name meant "the most/utterly holy/pure" and her symbols may have been the crown and serpents. As well there is a close assocation with Dionysus.

What is Ariadne god of?

Ariadne is not specified as a god, or rather a goddess, of anything. Her parents were Minos, son of the god Zeus and the mortal woman Europa, and Pasiphaë, daughter of the god Helios and the sea nymph Perse; therefore, she was only a half-goddess at best. In other renditions, she is stated to be a goddess, but it is only an epithet. In answer to your question, she is associated with the Minotaur's labyrinth, which she was said to be the ruler of.
