Ariadne : is a princess of the Cretan Mythology, daughter of King Minos and Pasiphae and the mother goddess in the Minoan pantheon, worshipped as goddess of fertility. She remains still a symbol of the womens’ independence, strongly represented in many archeological findings.

Minotaur : The mythical creature with the human body and the head of a bull, is the most iconic symbol of the Minoan Era and the Cretan Mythology.
