ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
Ariadne by Jennifer Saint tells the story of Ariadne, princess of Crete, and her sister Phaedra, exploring their lives within the complex world of gods and heroes. The narrative follows Ariadne's journey as she helps Theseus defeat the Minotaur and then flees Crete. Ariadne finds herself in a new life in Naxos and with the god Dionysus, while Phaedra is left behind to navigate a world where she is not a victim but a woman seeking her own power. The book delves into themes of betrayal, love, and the search for identity, questioning traditional heroic narratives and highlighting the often-overlooked perspectives of women in ancient Greek myths. The story contrasts the perceived glory of heroes like Theseus with their self-serving actions.
