Detailed explanation-1: -In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth (Ancient Greek: , romanized: Labúrinthos) was an elaborate, confusing structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos . Its function was to hold the Minotaur, the monster eventually killed by the hero Theseus.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Labyrinth was a maze built by Daedalus; King Minos wanted a building suitable to imprison the mythical monster Minotaur, and according to the myth, he used to imprison his enemies in the labyrinth, making sure that they would be killed by the monster.
Detailed explanation-3: -Instead, the king asked Daedalus to devise an ingenious maze so complex that no one could find their way out. Once complete, Daedalus called it the Labyrinth, and here the Minotaur remained, trapped by Minos and Daedalus, for the rest of his life, until Theseus hunted him down.
