Having studied Crete’s history for years and with unparalleled access to the kingdom thanks to her status, Ariadne knew the man who built the maze personally.
His name was Daedalus, he was an architect, and after hearing someone’s plan to try and escape his marveled invention, he agreed to help out of sheer curiosity.
Using her quick wit with various Cretan guards, Ariadne finally introduced Daedalus to her beloved Theseus.
However, before she allowed Theseus to meet Daedalus, she made him promise to take her to Athens. The two would have to be married. He promised.
In a private room, Daedalus told Theseus a simple truth:
“The hero to escape the Labyrinth must unspool thread and follow it to find his way out.”
Using her quick wit with various Cretan guards, Ariadne finally introduced Daedalus to her beloved Theseus.
