Ariadne gave a string to Theseus to guide his way into the labyrinth
King Minos' daughter Ariadne fell in love with Theseus.
It's not truely known. Dionysus appeared to Theseus as they sailed away from Crete, saying that he had chosen Ariadne as his wife, and demanded that Theseus leave her on Naxos for him; vase-painters of Athens often showed Athena leading Theseus from the sleeping Ariadne to his ship.
She followed Theseus on his journey back towards Athens. They spent the night on the island of Naxos, then Theseus sailed on, forgetting that he had left Ariadne behind. But Dionysus found her and married her.
Ariadne gave THeseus a harpin that turned into a sword named Anuklusmos, or Riptide in English,to defeat Ladon, the dragon, that gaurds the tree of golden apples of immortality.In return,Theseus promised Ariadne to marry her.When they sailed off together for home they stopped to rest on Calypso's island.Here THeseus sailed off the island without Ariadne while she was sleeping.For those of you who don't read Percy Jackson, Ariadne provided Theseus with a ball of twine (given to her by Daedalus), with which he could navigate the Labyrinth.Ariadne was the daughter of King Minos of Crete. When Theseus was brought to Crete as one of the sacrifices for the Minotaur, Ariadne gave him a spool of string so that once he killed the Minotaur he could find his way out of the Labyrinth. In return for her aid, Theseus took Ariadne with him when he left Crete; however, he later abandoned her on a deserted island.
In the myth, after Theseus killed the minotaur, came out of the maze, and sailed away with Ariadne back to Athens, he lands on the island of Naxos.
