Hallowing Minotaur Maze

In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth was a cunning maze built by Daedalus and Icarus to contain the savage half-bull Minotaur. So complex was the Labyrinth, its own builders could only escape on wings of Daedalus’ making…which didn’t end well for Icarus. The Minotaur, surviving on human sacrifices, roamed the Labyrinth for years until slain by Theseus.
