Theseus posteaquam Cretam venit , ab Ariadne , Minois filia , est adamatus adeo , ut fratrem proderet et hospitem servaret ; ea enim Theseo monstravit labyrinthi exitum , quo Theseus cum introisset et Minotaurum interfecisset , Ariadnes monitu licium revolvendo foras est egressus eamque , quod fidem ei dederat , in coniugio secum habiturus avexit .
Theseus in insula Dia tempestate retentus cogitans , si Ariadnen in patriam portasset , sibi opprobrium futurum , itaque in insula Dia dormientem reliquit ; quam Liber amans inde sibi in coniugium abduxit . Theseus autem cum navigaret , oblitus est vela atra mutare , itaque Aegeus pater eius , credens Theseum a Minotauro esse consumptum , in mare se praecipitavit , ex quo Aegeum pelagus est dictum . Ariadnes autem sororem Phaedram Theseus duxit in coniugium .

After
Theseus
came
to
Crete
,
he
had
been
loved
by
Ariadne
,
the
daughter
of
Minos
,
so
much
that
she
betrayed
her
brother
and
protected
the
foreigner
.
For
she
showed
the
exit
of
the
labyrinth
to
Theseus
,
though
which
,
when
Theseus
entered
and
killed
the
Minotaur
,
he
went
out
because
of
a
warning
of
Ariadne
by
unrolling
a
thread
,
and
,
because
she
had
given
faith
to
him
,
he
carried
her
off
,
having
in
mind
to
marry
her
.
Theseus , having been delayed by a storm on the island of Naxos , thinking that , if he were to carry Ariadne to his fatherland , there would be a reproach for him . Therefore , he left her sleeping on the island of Naxos . Dionysus , loving her , led her off from there into marriage with him . However , when Theseus was sailing , he has forgotten to change the black sails , therefore his father Aegeus , thinking that Theseus had been eaten by the Minotaur , threw himself into the sea , from which the Aegean Sea is named . However , Theseus led Phaedra , the sister of Ariadne , into marriage .
