Why did the Romans build labyrinths?
The Romans did not build labyrinths. In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth at Knossos (Crete) was an elaborate structure designed and built by the legendary Daedalus for King Minos (probably as part of his palace complex). Its function was to hold the Minotaur, a mythical creature that was half man and half bull. Daedalus had made the Labyrinth so complicated that he could not escape it while he built it. He was helped by Ariadne, who giving him thread, so he could find his way out again. The only Roman reference to labyrinths was by the naturalist Pliny the Elder. In his Natural History he mentioned four ancient labyrinths: the Cretan labyrinth, an Egyptian labyrinth, a Lemnian labyrinth (in the Greek island of Lemnos) and an Italian labyrinth. The latter referred to the tomb of the Etruscan king Lars Porsena which, he said, contained an underground maze.

Where in the body is the labyrinth?
The earThe labyrinth can actually be found inside your ear. There are three sections of the ear. They are the outer ear (the part we see along the sides of our head.) The middle ear and the inner ear. But in terms of function, the ear has four parts: those three and the brain. This means that hearing involves all parts of the ear as well as the auditory cortex of the brain. The external ear helps concentrate the vibrations of air on the ear drum and make it vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted by a chain of little bones in the middle ear to the inner ear. There they stimulate the fibres of the auditory nerve to transmit impulses to the brain.The internal ear, where you will find the labyrinth, is a highly complex thing. The essential component of the inner ear for hearing is the membranous labyrinth where the fibres of the auditory nerve (the nerve connecting the ear to the brain) end. The membranous labyrinth is a system of communicating sacs and ducts (tubes) filled with fluid (the endolymph). The membranous labyrinth is lodged within a cavity called the bony labyrinth. At some points the membranous labyrinth is attached to the bony labyrinth and at other points the membranous labyrinth is suspended in a fluid (the perilymph) within the bony labyrinth.To make it even more confusing, the bony labyrinth has three parts: a central cavity, semicircular canals, and the cochlea.Inner ear
