Ariadne gave a string to Theseus to guide his way into the labyrinth
The woman who helped Theseus was Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete. She provided Theseus with a ball of thread to navigate the Labyrinth after he volunteered to slay the Minotaur. After he succeeded, Theseus took Ariadne with him when he left Crete, although he later abandoned her on the island of Naxos. Ariadne's assistance was crucial for Theseus's victory, symbolizing both love and betrayal in their story.
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.
