The significance of the labyrinth in mythology, particularly in Greek tales, embodies complexity and the journey of self-discovery. Most famously, it housed the Minotaur and represented entrapment and the struggle against chaos. The labyrinth symbolizes the challenges one must navigate in life, reflecting both external obstacles and internal dilemmas. Heroes like Theseus, who successfully navigated the labyrinth to defeat the Minotaur, illustrate the triumph of courage and intelligence over seemingly insurmountable odds.
