Мы вступаем в неведомый лабиринт чужой души без нити Ариадны в руке.

5 Ariachne
(proper name), Arachne + Ariadneобъединение У.Шекспиром двух имен — Ариадна и Арахна[lang name="English"]PD: "Ariadne provided the thread that helped guide Theseus out of the Minotaur’s labyrinth, while Arachne challenged the goddess Athena to a spinning contest, and was transformed into a spider when she lost. The name "Ariachne" appears in Act V of Troilus and Cressida; it’s uncertain whether Shakespear simply confused the two names, or deliberately blended them to accommodate the meter of the passage"
