In Greek mythology, Ariadne (; ) was a Cretan princess, the daughter of King Minos of Crete.

There, Dionysus saw Ariadne sleeping, fell in love with her, and later married her. Many versions of the myth recount Dionysus throwing Ariadne's jeweled crown into the sky to create a constellation, the Corona Borealis.
