In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth was an elaborate, confusing structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur, the monster eventually killed by the hero Theseus.

There's a lot of "vessels" which were all over the real world Knossos believed to symbolize the matriarchal culture of that city at the time. And the "golden lily" bowl is reminding me too of all the bowls Campbell has throughout his MoG series ...flowers/lilies/lotus Palps 😬🤢

Lord Knossos from the (sadly dead) game Gigantic by Motiga.
Had amazing animations and style. And it was equally fun.

The movement depicted in the bull-leaping fresco is quite beautiful and fluent, like the ivory sculpture of a leader also found in the Knossos palace from similar timeframe, 1600-1450BC.

Comparing the pale figures in the bull-leaping fresco to other Minoan depictions of women (statuettes, frescos from Knossos and Akrotiri): the lack of clothing jars, as well as the lack of breasts definition. Could of course be a one-off special event compared to everyday scenes?
