Ariadne's thread, named for the legend of Ariadne, is the term used to describe the solving of a problem with multiple apparent means of proceeding - such as a physical maze, a logic puzzle, or an ethical dilemma - through an exhaustive application of logic to all available routes.
In Greek myth, Ariadne was the daughter of King Minos of Crete and Queen Pasiphaë, she aided Theseus in overcoming the Minotaur and was (after being abandoned by Theseus) the bride of the god Dionysus.
