Labyrinth myth

The Labyrinth myth originates from ancient Greek mythology, particularly the story of King Minos of Crete. He commissioned the construction of a complex maze, or labyrinth, to contain the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull creature. Every year, Athenians had to send youths as tribute to be sacrificed to the Minotaur. Theseus, a hero, volunteered to go, armed with a ball of thread given by Ariadne, Minos's daughter. He unraveled the thread as he navigated the maze, ultimately slaying the Minotaur and escaping. The myth symbolizes the struggle against chaos and the journey toward self-discovery and triumph over fear.
