Ariadne, who had no role in these events, is dragged into them so this can still be part of her tale. At the center gleamed a huge, polished circle, and this was where I spent the happiest hours of my youth. If Daedalus simply humored me, I never knew it, for I always felt like we were two equals conversing.

She has also witnessed their wrath, unfairly brought down upon Pasiphae by Poseidon, the sea god, because of Minos’s transgressions against him. The pieces slid into place: a terrible picture when viewed from our mortal perspective, like the beauty of a spider’s web that must look so horrifying to the fly.My younger sister, Phaedra, toddled enraptured in his wake, and when I grew tired of steering her away from every danger she could find, I would leave Daedalus with them both and steal back to the wide circle of my dancing-floor.
