Great Women Of Greek Mythology – Ariadne Of Knossos

She was the apple of her father’s eye, beloved by the sternest man in the world. But when a young prince from faraway Athens appears, she is lovestruck. Ariadne betrays her family back in Knossos in exchange for marrying Theseus, but as soon as she delivers on her promises, Theseus abandons her on the deserted island of Naxos, leaving her to starve to death. Her story would end there, were it not for the attention of a peculiar god who takes an interest in her and gives her life anew.

GREAT WOMEN OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY is a series of short books for young and old introducing readers to the ancient world through its heroines. Τhese books aim to bring readers on a journey filled with excitement, drama, death and love, all while focussing on the women that have played such an important role in our history yet are still remembered as mere bystanders.

The Creators

Vittorio Mattioli and Mike French are authors, translators, and editors of texts and books. Cosmopolitans in the truest sense, they founded Read Panda Editing, a company based in Estonia. Vittorio, of Greek-Italian heritage, resides in Athens, while Mike—despite his surname—is British and currently lives in Brussels. They primarily offer their services in English, though communication is also possible in Italian, French, Greek, Icelandic, and Spanish. Their publishing initiative Great Women of Greek Mythology marks their first editorial venture in Greece.

The distinctive covers of the series are the work of the talented illustrator known as Little Miss Grumpy. A native Athenian, she once aspired to become an actress, but ultimately emerged as one of the most promising illustrators of her generation. She draws, sketches, and paints for books and newspapers, and creates objects imbued with character and personality.
