Good Is Not Nice
 Ariadne / int_21f3aa44
comment
Good is Not Nice: Theseus is a hero, but he is not a good person. His greatest hits include abandoning Ariadne on a desert island, kidnapping and raping Antiope, and killing his own son.

Genre Blindness
 Ariadne / int_251bbe0e
comment
Genre Blindness: Ariadne tends to have this. Despite being warned by her wet nurse and her mother that history is written by men, and that women will only suffer as side characters, she is eager to be mentioned in myths and stories. This leads to her constantly getting the run-around by men.

Even Evil Has Standards
 Ariadne / int_319e4a2f
comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Theseus is thoroughly despicable person - a rapist, a murderer, and a liar, among other flaws - but he still tries to spare Ariadne the sight of Phaedra's corpse.

Manipulative Bastard: Theseus. His good looks and charming manner make it easy for him to manipulate people into doing what he wants. Often, it is something completely against their ethics.

Interspecies Romance: Subverted. Whilst Pasiphaë desires a taurus, and mother's the Minotaur as a result, she did it because she was cursed by Poseidon with her lust for a slight by Minos.

Revenge by Proxy
 Ariadne / int_b77eb3b2
comment
Revenge by Proxy: Often. Medusa is turned into a monster by Athena because Poseidon can't be punished for her rape. Poseidon curses Pasiphaë with lust for the taurus to punish Minos for stealing said taurus. Theseus abandons Ariadne on a deserted island as a punishment for Minos. Phaedra is cursed with undying love for Hippolytos by Aphrodite, because Hippolytos swore to abstain to love.
