In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth (Greek λαβύρινθος labyrinthos) was an elaborate structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur, a creature that was half man and half bull and was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus

Does the word maze have its origins in Greek mythology?

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.
