Synopsis

Princess Ariadne of Crete has always lived in the shadow of her monstrous brother, the Minotaur. When the Athenian hero Theseus arrives, she sees a chance for escape and a different future. Ariadne defies the gods and her family to help Theseus, but her choices have far-reaching consequences for herself and her beloved sister, Phaedra. This retelling places the forgotten women of Greek myth at the center of their own epic.
