According to the myth, Ariadne helped the hero Theseus to defeat the Minotaur. Despite her love for Theseus, Ariadne is abandoned on the island of Naxos.
Adriana Nogueira examines the classical reception of the myth in the work of Portuguese painter Jorge Martins, "Ariadne in Naxos". Adriana invites us to see what lies beyond the lonely abandoned Ariadne; an ode to hope and all the famous and anonymous Ariadnes in history.
