yes she was. I am not sure of what, but she was.

AnswerAriadne ( from a Cretan-Greek form for arihagne, "utterly pure" ) was a fertility goddess of Crete, and was the first divine personage of Greek mythology to be immediately recognized in Crete.

She wasn't just a "fertility" goddess, she was THE Goddess. The was the creatrix, she was the top dog in the mythologies until the Sky gods pushed her out of the way, and in later myths she was diminished to King Minos daughter, not even divine.

In Greek myth Ariadne is not a god, but the daughter of king Minos of Crete. It is generally agreed, however, that she represents an earlier Cretan mother-goddess.

In a way. Not in the actual name from it was drivived from the name. Ariana is an English variant of Arianna, which is is the Italian form form of it's original name - Ariadne. It is a greek name in mythology - It means "most holy". In Greek mythology, Ariadne was the daughter of King Minos.
