A thousand snobbish villains all cried out: “‘labyrinths are unicursal’ is a recent fabrication, the Minotaur was hidden in Daedalus’ labyrinth, not ‘maze’, and if it were unicursal he would have gotten out”
Though there must have had some extra trick to it beyond that. Even if the Minotaur was no smarter than am average cow, it would be bound to find its way out of a typical maze by just wandering around since it lived there all the time.
The Palace of Knossos is a palace, not a labyrinth. It’s unclear where the legend of the labyrinth comes from exactly but there was an actual labyrinth in Egypt however, arguably (more archaeoresearch is needed) it still is there at Fayum but researching and rescuing it from abandonment would hurt the Egyptian irrigation systems, so the authorities discourage even research.

Sure thing. AFAIK “maze” is just an English variant name of Greek (or is Pelasgian? Eteocretan maybe?) “labyrinth”, one related to “amaze”.
Per Wikitionary maze’s definition is “a labyrinth…”
It must be a maze, since a labyrinth would contain David Bowie, and this villain doesn’t have enough flair for that.
You have no power over me!
But that wouldn’t be a labyrinth but a mazing.
So this turned the girls into Maze Runners?
and when it’s made with a cornfield, it’s a maize
If it’s a corn maze, they’ll find Sally Forth and her family in it.
Or Torg and Riff, if they dare venture into the Maize of Madness.
And Bun Bun will take your wallet.
Good to see LP asking the important questions.
I’m worried about LP’s character growth. Where is it coming from?
Really LaserPony? YOU know the difference between a labyrinth and a maze?!? Dedal would be proud!
It’s neither if LP decides to shoot a lazer through it.
That would be unmazing the labyrinth?
Don’t forget the thread, kids.
That or turn left every turn, no matter what.
I figured he asked before blowing a hole thru it.
Knowing this guy’s creativity, it’s probably just a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
Surely they’d cave under such a colossal adventure?
Surely they just need to point LP towards the maze/labyrinth and tell him there’s a spider on that wall
