Built by master inventor Daedalus, the Labyrinth was a dark, gloomy maze of passageways that twisted and turned so much that it was impossible for him to ever find its way out. But if the monster was imprisoned, so were the innocent girls and boys who were placed inside the Labyrinth as food for the Minotaur. Once inside the Labyrinth, these youths could not escape. Inevitably, the Minotaur found them and ate them. Into this grisly hall of death comes a young hero named Theseus. He has vowed to kill the Minotaur, or die trying.
