Labyrinth

The Labyrinth is a giant maze-like prison in Greek myth. It appears in the Disney's Animated Myths and Legends episode Theseus and the Minotaur and also appears in Daedalus and Icarus.

History
After King Minos' wife, Queen Pasiphaë, mated with a pure white bull which he had kept as a gift for himself rather than have sacrificed to the sea god Poseidon, she gave birth to a mutant, hybrid child; the Minotaur. Horrified by his bestial appearance, but not wanting to have it killed for fear of angering the gods, the King decided he could take advantage of his stepson's monstrous appearance and use him as a weapon against anybody who challenged him. He turned to Daedalus, a great inventor and the palace's resident architect, to help him build the Labyrinth; a prison in the form of a huge, terrifying maze in which the Minotaur would reside.
