SteveTheseus went to the island of Crete to combat the Minotaur in the Labryinth built by Dedalus the architect. When he was walking by Ariadne, the princess of Crete, she fell in love with him and went to Dedalus to find out how he could escape from the Labyrinth.
She gave him a ball of yarn to tie to the beginning so he could find his way out again. On his way back to his father, she was not with him. There are two accounts to this. One is that he left her on the harbor of an island when she was sleeping. Another is that she got off the ship herself and the wind blew Theseus's ship away from the island so he was unable to return.
