Etruscan bust of Ariadne 3rd C. BCE
"Ariadne, that daughter of subtle Minos whom Theseus bore off from Krete (Crete) towards the hill of sacred Athens; yet he had no joy of her, since, before that could be, she was slain by Artemis in the isle of Dia [Naxos] because of the witness of Dionysos."
-Homer, Odyssey 11. 320 ff (trans. Shewring) (Greek epic C8th B.C.)
