Daedalus.
In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth was designed by the inventor, Daedalus.
Minos imprisoned Daedalus in the labyrinth because he was upset with Daedalus for helping Theseus escape from the labyrinth after slaying the Minotaur. Daedalus, a skilled inventor and craftsman, had designed the labyrinth itself, and Minos feared that he might reveal its secrets or assist others in escaping. By confining Daedalus, Minos aimed to prevent any further disruption and retain control over the labyrinth's mysteries.
King Minos became angry with Daedalus because he believed Daedalus had aided Theseus in escaping the Labyrinth, which Daedalus had designed. This betrayal undermined Minos's authority and the security of the Labyrinth, where he had imprisoned the Minotaur. In retaliation, Minos imprisoned Daedalus and his son Icarus in the very Labyrinth that Daedalus had created, seeking to prevent further escape or treachery.
