Origins

Ariane is a feminine name. It is a French translation of the Greek name Ariadne. It may refer to:

- Ariane (rocket family), a family of European rockets operated by Arianespace. arianespace.com

- In Hesiod and most other accounts, Theseus abandoned Ariadne sleeping on Naxos, and Dionysus rediscovered and wedded her. In a few versions of the myth, Dionysus appeared to Theseus as they sailed away from Crete, saying that he had chosen Ariadne as his wife, and demanded that Theseus leave her on Naxos for him; this has the effect of absolving the Athenian culture-hero of desertion. The vase-painters of Athens often showed Athena leading Theseus from the sleeping Ariadne to his ship.

With Dionysus, she was the mother of Oenopion, the personification of wine, Staphylus (related to grapes), Thoas, Peparethus, Phanus, Eurymedon, Enyeus, Ceramus, Maron, Euanthes, Latramys and Tauropolis. Her wedding diadem was set in the heavens as the constellation Corona.

"Ariadne"

So, if I conclude by drawing a parallel to my own life, I will be abandoned by a mighty, great and wandering man, only to be rescued by A GOD (yes, the goddamn God) of wine and passion...

Or I'm a spaceship.

Either way, I'm OK with this.
