Asteroid 43, Ariadne, was discovered on April 15, 1857 by Norman R. Pogson at Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, UK. Ariadne has a period of years, days.
It was named for a daughter of Minos, king of Crete, and Pasiphae. Ariadne fell in love with Theseus who came to kill the Minotaur. She helped him kill the monster by giving him some thread he used to keep himself from getting lost in the Labyrinth which was used to imprison the Minotaur and find his way out again once he'd killed the creature. He thanked her for this by marrying her and then abandoning her; Dionysus came along and found her, consoled her, and immortalized her with the constellation Corona Borealis.
