    Knossos is the real life basis for the Labyrinth. In legend, it was built to contain the fearsome Minotaur.

    My mythology is a bit rusty, but:

    A labyrinth was a large maze type thing that contained a monster called a Minotaur. The minotaur was in the center of the labyrinth and was deadly.
