Ariadne by jennifer saint6/25/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In her feminist reimagining of Ariadne’s tale, Saint hands over narrative agency to princess Ariadne and her sister Phaedra, instead of the better known heroes like Theseus and the god Dionysus whose lives got intertwined with those of the two sisters’. If you are familiar with the ancient Greek myths and legends, you might know Ariadne as the traitorous daughter of King Minos who betrayed her family and kingdom, and helped the Athenian prince Theseus kill the Minotaur, a monster who was her own brother. Jennifer Saint’s Ariadne is a retelling of the story of the Cretan princess Ariadne, a well-known figure from the Greek myths. ![]()
