Ariadne, Awake!

Enter the maze of myth, where a young girl awakens to the mystery of love -- & learns its price. Daughter of the tyrant Minos of Crete, half sister to the savage Minotaur, Ariadne is only beginning to dream of a love that will transform her. Then the young hero Theseus, handsome prince of Athens & her father's prisoner, arrives, & Ariadne is ready to defy her father to prevent his death. Fleeing with him, she leaves behind all she holds dear -- & finds danger, betrayal, & finally, happiness. Intimate yet breathtaking portraiture reveals the ageless human drama at the heart of the ancient myth of Theseus, the Minotaur -- & Ariadne.
