Description: After killing the terrible Minautor, Theseus weds Ariadne, the daughter of Minos, king of the island of crete, and departs with her by ship. After a storm, the ship lands on the island of Naxos, where Theseus repairs the hull while Ariadne, who is very tired, falls asleep on the shore. A new storm pushes the young husband, in the boat he is repairing, out to sea. Ariadne, desperate, is found by Bacchus who consoles her and makes her his wife.
