    传说，克里特岛的国王米诺斯（Minos）是宙斯和欧罗巴公主的儿子。在他与兄弟争夺王位时，曾请求海神波塞冬降下神迹来支持他。波塞冬答应了他，从海中升出一头俊美的白色公牛，并要求事后把公牛献祭给他。没想到米诺斯当时国王后，不舍得宰杀这头俊美的白牛，就偷梁换柱用另一头牛代替献祭给了波塞冬。波塞冬特别生气，想严惩这个欺骗神灵的国王，就施展法力，使王后爱上了这头白牛。王后生下了一个牛头人身的怪物米诺陶洛斯。为了遮羞，米诺斯要求当时著名的工匠代达罗斯（Daedalus）建造了一座名叫labyrinth的迷宫，把弥诺陶洛斯关在里面。

    小知识

    A labyrinth is a structure with many connected paths or passages in which it is hard to find your way. In figurative use, a labyrinth is a complicated situation: our tax code is a labyrinth of rules and regulations.

    In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth was the structure built for King Minos of Crete to confine the Minotaur, a monster with the head of a bull and the body of a man. The word maze is a near synonym for labyrinth, and is also used figuratively, as in, “After war broke out, trying to figure out how to get a visa to leave the country was like navigating a maze, a veritable labyrinth of wrong turns and false hope.”
