Ariadnes Wedding

#greekceramics

ARIADNE'S WEDDING

Ariadne asleep on Naxos is a popular theme but I like these depictions of Ariadne's wedding showing her as an equal partner to a god who is her cousin both being descendants of Zeus and other gods also.






I love how they are shown as a loving couple where as later roman works emphasize Dionysios over his hestitant partner.
