In Greek mythology, a princess who helped the hero Theseus escape from the Minotaur's labyrinth by giving him a ball of thread.
From ancient Greek 'Ariadnē,' possibly meaning 'very holy' or 'the perfect maiden,' she became famous through Homer's epics and later Greek drama.
Ariadne's thread is still used today as an expression meaning 'a way to solve a complicated problem'—like when you're lost in a confusing situation, you need to follow the thread back to safety!
