Almost in every book, article, artist, architect's research I have done, the word "labyrinth" always pop up. Some how in my mind a myth character with sharp pointed ears pop up every time.. some sort of a creature or idea of a creature... i have no idea why, that's why i've decided to do some research into it.
Wiki Explanation:
"Mazelike structure from Greek mythology"
In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth (Greek λαβύρινθος labyrinthos) was an elaborate structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur, a creature that was half man and half bull and was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus. Daedalus had made the Labyrinth so cunningly that he himself could barely escape it after he built it.[1] Theseus was aided by Ariadne, who provided him with a skein of thread, literally the "clew", or "clue", so he could find his way out again.
