So why is this answer correct? : The story of Ariadne and Theseus is one of the most famous tales in Greek mythology. Determined to slay the ferocious centaur, Greek hero Theseus escapes a treacherous labyrinth with the help of Princess Ariadne, who gives him a sword and ball of thread to retrace his steps.
