Greek Mythology Aesthetics: //DIONYSUS+ARIADNE//

—"There is no better man one could hope for a husband than a god!.”—

A princess without a kingdom– lost when she fell in love with the wrong man, the Athenian hero Theseus leaving Crete in ruins in the wake of his victory of the Minotaur– left abandoned in Naxos, her lover sailing off to find his happiness elsewhere. Ariadne had lost everything, the moment she let her heart speak for her. Who could blame her for her tears? Not Dionysus, who found the weeping Ariadne and came to console her. He fell in love with the tender hearted maiden, whose only mistake was the put her trust in someone who did not deserve it. That was why he offered her a far better husband than she could have ever hoped to find in Theseus; with a crown of stars, Dionysus asked Ariadne, “be mine”, and promising to love her as only a god could.  She would want for nothing, if she would marry him, and her choice to dare to trust again was one she would never regret.
