Many Cretan people say, that the Labyrinth Cave - an ancient quarry-cave - is the labyrinth of the Minotaur. Arthur Evans dug up Knossos at the beginning of the 20th century and identified it as the labyrinth of the myth. His opinion was mostly accepted and got scientific standard. Paul Faure, a french archaeologist, was the only one, who thought, that a third place - the cave called Agia Paraskevi near Skotino - was this labyrinth. As the theory, that Knossos was the labyrinth, is more and more critisized by serious arguments, we must say today, that the question, which was the "true" labyrinth - and if ever it did exist -, is not yet answered. As the Minotaur and the labyrinth both are myths, the labyrinth cannot be localized seriously - apart from the fact, that our cave is not a labyrinth, neither a classic one nor a maze. <<
