A labyrinth is a complex, intricate structure designed as a maze, often featuring a single, winding path that leads to a central point. Unlike a traditional maze, which may have multiple paths and dead ends, a labyrinth is typically designed for contemplation and meditation, allowing individuals to walk its path in a reflective manner. Historically, labyrinths have been found in various cultures, including ancient Greece, where the famous Minotaur myth originated. They can be constructed from various materials, such as stone or hedges, and are often used in gardens, religious sites, and art installations to symbolize a journey or quest for self-discovery.
