daedalus the architect marooned in crete who built the labyrinth on the model of the one in egypt.
about that, herodotus says "this i have actually seen, a work beyond words." this based on the experience of only one level. about the other, underground, he learned by report: "for the egyptian authorities were utterly unwilling to show them saying they contained the burials both of the kings who had caused this labyrinth to be built and of the secret crocodiles."
may you find the secret crocodiles.
if you do, tell them hello for me.
