In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth was designed by the inventor, Daedalus.
Minos believed that if Daedalus, the skilled craftsman and inventor, could not find his way out of the Labyrinth he designed, it would demonstrate the maze's complexity and his own superiority. Minos wanted to punish Daedalus for helping Theseus escape the Labyrinth, fearing that Daedalus's ingenuity could expose his vulnerabilities. By trapping Daedalus, he aimed to ensure that the secret of the Labyrinth remained hidden and that no one could replicate its design. Thus, Minos's confidence in the labyrinth's design stemmed from his belief in his own power and control over Daedalus.

Because no one had ever gotten out before and it had to take a 'genius' to figure it out.

In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth was designed by the inventor, Daedalus.
In the story of Daedalus, the raising action involves Daedalus creating the labyrinth to imprison the Minotaur, the birth of the Minotaur, and King Minos demanding tributes of young Athenians to feed the Minotaur.
