Theseus fails his exit exam in the Abandonment of Ariadne, failing to conjoin with his feminine creative force and achieve wholeness, but he is not the hero of this story. Theseus the Oath Breaker fails and is punished by his fathers suicide. It is Ariadne and Bacchus who enact the Union of Opposites, ecstasy and wisdom harnessed together to renew the world. As a myth of the power and meaning of Art , of spinning our straw into gold, our pain and joy into beauty, it remains a living path of our journey to becoming human. ( )
