Biography
Ariadne was a prominent feature in Ancient Greek mythology.
Before Zinnia, it was Ariadne who had mated with the fabled criminal mastermind Alduin. It is an experience she'd rather not remember. Her kids too were exalted, all save Nimbus, who has found solace in another lair. Ariadne has since become a mute following extensive damage to her vocal cords, so Matilda taught her how to use Sign Language. Juniper in particular has been attempting to get her to re-socialise with the rest of the lair by including her in meetings and activities, but she is incredibly reluctant to attend. She seems fond of Ceres and can often be seen with her when the old Snapper is not spinning her tales for the hatchlings. NightVale also hangs around her a lot. though Ariadne isn't sure why. NightVale doesn't talk either, so the pair share a companionable silence. She still suffers the effects of Alduin's manipulation sometimes, having issues trusting her own judgement and questioning whether or not her mind is her own. She likes the quietness of Dionysus' gardens, preferring to vist them at night when most of the other dragons are sleeping. The bright blooms and mingling scents help her forget about the toxic relationship she has escaped.

the blue is taken from her smoke and it melds and blends into her tears
the black represents the one that hurt her
on the throat is where he hurt her and around the muzzle is how he left her

There were several versions of her story. In one, Ariadne, a daughter of King Minos of Krete (Crete), assisted Theseus in his quest to slay the Minotauros (Minotaur) and then fled with the hero aboard his ship. When they landed on the island of Naxos Theseus abandoned her as she slept. It was then that Dionysos discovered her and made her his wife. Some say she was later slain by the goddess Artemis or else ascended to Olympos with her husband as an immortal. According to others Ariadne's marriage with Dionysos occurred several generations before this when the god was still travelling the earth spreading his cult. During his war against Argives with a band of sea-women, Ariadne was slain or turned to stone by King Perseus. The god descended into the underworld to recover her and brought her back with him to Olympos. In Greek vase painting Ariadne is often depicted alongside Dionysos--either feasting with the gods of Olympos or in Bacchic scenes surrounded by dancing Satyroi (Satyrs) and Mainades. Dionysos' discovery of the sleeping Ariadne on Naxos was also a popular scene in classical art. (Roman Libera/ Theoi.com) |
