The Deathbed of Ariadne was a site on the eastern coast of the Greek island of Naxos of importance in Greek mythology.
According to legends, the site was where Ariadne, the goddess of the labyrinth, maze and snakes, was abandoned by her lover Theseus, a hero and the founder of Athens. Ariadne was subsequently killed by the huntress goddess, Artemis, for defiling a sacred place dedicated to her.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War, the site was visited by the Spartan misthios, Kassandra.[1]
