Ariadne was in charge of the Minotaur's labyrinth and its sacrifices. She loved the hero Theseus, so she assisted him through the labyrinth by giving him a sword and a ball of thread. She didn't want there to be anymore sacrificial victims to the bull. The ball of thread helped him to find his way through the labyrinth without getting lost in it. Theseus managed to find and kill the Minotaur, Ariadne's half-brother. They later eloped, but he abandoned her on Naxos. The God of wine, fertility, and theater, Dionysus, discovered her and fell in love. They married, but she was later killed by the hero, Perseus. The God traveled to Hades to bring her and his mortal mother, Semele, back to Olympus.
