Ariadne
Cretan princess who helped Theseus escape the Labyrinth with a thread, then was abandoned on Naxos. Found by Dionysus, she became his consort and was immortalized. Ariadne's thread represents guidance through confusion and the way out of psychological labyrinths. Her abandonment and subsequent divine union symbolize transformation through betrayal and the movement from mortal to sacred love. She embodies the helper who guides heroes through their shadow journey.
