Ariadne.

"Then it seems like falling into a labyrinth; we thought we were at the finish, but our way bent round and we found ourselves back at the beginning, and just as far from that we were seeking at first" 
Plato: Euthydemus.








Which ever way you turn, Naxos is the place for the Ariadne and Dionysos story.




According to Diodorus Siculus, Dionysos appeared to Theseus in a dream...

"Theseus, on his voyage back from Krete together with Ariadne, was entertained as a guest by the inhabitants of the island [of Naxos]; and Theseus, seeing in a dream Dionysos threatening him if he would not forsake Ariadne in favour of the god, left her behind him there in his fear and sailed away".... 

Theseus awoke griped by terror, and silently got up and left, sailed away. Leaving the sleeping Ariadne abandoned on Venus sands.

"And Dionysos led Ariadne away by night to the mountain which is know as Drios; and first of all the god disappeared, and later Ariadne also was never seen again."

The crown of heaven, the Corona Borealis, was Dionysos's gift to Ariadne.

There is another story...Ariadne was already married to the god, and when she left him to sail the seas back to Athens with Theseus, he had her killed, slain with poisoned arrows.

Homer- The Odyssey.
"Ariadne, that daughter of subtle Minos whom Theseus bore off from Krete (Crete) towards the hill of sacred Athens; yet he had no joy of her, since, before that could be, she was slain by Artemis in the isle of Dia [Naxos] because of the witness of Dionysos.

Venus Sands is a location on the soul.
Love alone provides the copper knife that tears the heart, the body, and bloodlessly cuts the shadow away..

To the mistress of the labyrinth, honey.
