Ariadne and Dionysus | Greek Mythological Love Story | Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses

Based on a story by Lin and Don Donn - https://ancienthistory.mrdonn.org/myt..., used with permission. Ariadne and Dionysus | Greek Mythological Love Story | Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses ARIADNE was the immortal wife of the wine-god Dionysos. There were several versions of her story. In one, Ariadne, a daughter of King Minos of Krete (Crete), assisted Theseus in his quest to slay the Minotauros (Minotaur) and then fled with the hero aboard his ship. When they landed on the island of Naxos Theseus abandoned her as she slept. It was then that Dionysos discovered her and made her his wife. Some say she was later slain by the goddess Artemis or else ascended to Olympos with her husband as an immortal. According to others Ariadne's bridal with Dionysos occurred several generations before this when the god was still traveling the earth spreading his cult. During his war against Argives with a band of sea-women, Ariadne was slain or turned to stone by King Perseus. The god descended into the underworld to recover her and brought her back with him to Olympos. In Greek vase painting Ariadne is often depicted alongside Dionysos--either feasting with the gods of Olympos or in Bacchic scenes surrounded by dancing Satyroi (Satyrs) and Marinades. Dionysos' discovery of the sleeping Ariadne on Naxos was also a popular scene in classical art.
