The libretto revolves around the Greek myth about the daughter of the Cretan King, who falls in love with Theseus, the son of the King of Athens. In exchange for a promise to marry her, Ariadne helps Theseus kill the Minotaur. On their way to Athens, they stop on the island of Naxos, where Theseus abandons her. The popular theme has been reappearing in the world of opera from Monteverdi to Orff.
