Not maze but 'labyrinth' (meaning the same) comes from the Greek mythology. Once upon a time there was Crete ruled by King Minos. This king had a half-bull, half-man monster as his son - called the Minotaur -and he kept it in a labyrinth. The legend says that it ate people having been sent for him from Athens. But one of the Athenian heroes, called Theseus, killed the Minotaur.
