À propos de cet audio
"An elegant performance by narrator Barrie Kreinik recounts the life of Ariadne...This production, with its outstanding narration, makes the classic story new again. Kreinik is the perfect voice for Ariadne, a noble young woman who bravely stands up for her values." (AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner)
A mesmerizing debut novel for fans of Madeline Miller's Circe.
Ariadne, Princess of Crete, grows up greeting the dawn from her beautiful dancing floor and listening to her nursemaid’s stories of gods and heroes. But beneath her golden palace echo the ever-present hoofbeats of her brother, the Minotaur, a monster who demands blood sacrifice.
When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives to vanquish the beast, Ariadne sees in his green eyes not a threat but an escape. Defying the gods, betraying her family and country, and risking everything for love, Ariadne helps Theseus kill the Minotaur. But will Ariadne’s decision ensure her happy ending? And what of Phaedra, the beloved younger sister she leaves behind?
Hypnotic, propulsive, and utterly transporting, Jennifer Saint's Ariadne forges a new epic, one that puts the forgotten women of Greek mythology back at the heart of the story, as they strive for a better world.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
"Jennifer Saint's Ariadne is a shimmering tapestry of two sisters bound by deceit and the shadows of family history...With a fresh voice and keen insight, Saint adds flesh and bone to an ancient myth, drawing the reader into an uneasy world of ever-afters." (Yangsze Choo, New York Times best-selling author of The Night Tiger)

When Princess Atalanta is born, a daughter rather than the son her parents hoped for, she is left on a mountainside to die. But even then, she is a survivor. Raised by a mother bear under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis, Atalanta grows up wild and free, with just one condition: if she marries, Artemis warns, it will be her undoing.

The tellers of Greek myths—historically men—have routinely sidelined the female characters. When they do take a larger role, women are often portrayed as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil—like Pandora, the woman of eternal scorn and damnation whose curiosity is tasked with causing all the world’s suffering and wickedness when she opened that forbidden box. But, as Natalie Haynes reveals, in ancient Greek myths there was no box. It was a jar . . . which is far more likely to tip over.

When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.

Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

Seventeen years ago, King Odysseus sailed to war with Troy, taking with him every man of fighting age from the island of Ithaca. None of them has returned, and the women of Ithaca have been left behind to run the kingdom. Penelope was barely into womanhood when she wed Odysseus. While he lived, her position was secure. But now, years on, speculation is mounting that her husband is dead, and suitors are beginning to knock at her door. No one man is strong enough to claim Odysseus' empty throne—not yet.

No “Circe” but a great story
After reading Circe by Madeline Miller I have been on the hunt for a similar book and this one fit the bill. It is definitely no Circe, don’t get me wrong but the story is just amazing and so sad all at once! I think someone needs to do a book like this for every goddess I want to hear the story of Pasiphae, Perse , Selene, on and on. This was a really good book and kept me up into the wee hours of the night listening highly recommend it for anybody who loves Circe or Greek mythology or or historical fiction in general! Very glad I got this book :)

Pleasant and well read
Ariadne by Jennifer Saint
Is a welcomed myth.
I must say I knew about the Minotaur, Theseus, and a bit about Dionysus but I knew nothing of Ariadne or that of Phaedra. (Could we guess why?)
As a feminist retelling we focus solely on Ariadne and Phaedra’s telling of their story. And it is clear from the start Ariadne shares her story from a distance, of age and space. Her voice is wise, calm and knows the tragic end. As do we all.
But wait I like is that none of this takes away for the story. The reader can tell what will happen, but a 13 year old child does not. And it was interesting to see these two girls/women experience that same love, pain, deaths because of men.
I truly enjoyed the undercurrent of who gets to tell the story, who’s the hero, who’s saved. It truly puts doubt in one’s mind, like did Theseus really forget to change the black sails or was that planned so her could ruled unbound by his father?
It was enjoyable read different enough to keep the reader entertained and fell comforted.
This book is for anyone interested in retelling of myths with more depth and different perspectives.

Captivating story with an abrupt ending
I was drawn to this book after falling in love with Madeline Miller’s Circe and Song of Achilles.
What left me slightly disappointed was Ariadne’s character arc. The book recounts so many instances of women suffering at the hands of men and gods. This sets up an expectation of Ariadne to stand up against these transgressions, but the story falls slightly short.
The story was overall captivating, I was just hoping for a more satisfying ending.

Good but infuriating
Overall, I enjoyed the book, though it pales in comparison to Madeline Miller’s Circe or Song of Achilles.
I found the female protagonists of both Ariadne and Phaedra to be irksome in their ignorance and the voice they were written in was a bit grating, especially when paired with the repetitive theme of how women were always the ones paying for the errors of men.
For me, the best parts of the book came from the relaying of the actual myths of the gods and their overlapping stories. I would have liked to see more gods included as characters beyond only Dionysus. There could have been more added there with an increased presence of Hera.
