Episode Offers Initial Clues Linking “Dark” To Ariadne and Theseus’s Myth
References to the Ariadne myth are woven throughout the show, notably with a poster behind Martha in the first episode. In the tale, Ariadne aids Theseus in escaping the Minotaur’s labyrinth by providing a ball of string, symbolizing guidance and hope. She embodies the possibility of breaking free from the cycle of time travel and forging a brighter future.
The recurring performance of the play based on Ariadne’s story across different eras emphasizes its timeless relevance—a narrative of hope, resilience, and emerging from darkness. Furthermore, the Ariadne myth’s connection to the duality theme adds depth, as she represents the feminine aspect contrasting with the masculine Minotaur.
