Answer 3

The labyrinth is said to have been made thousands of years in an obscure palace. It's possible that it did exist in some form but it has been destroyed over time. The ancient heros were mostly real. The men of the Trojan War, Odysseus and Achilles, were real men who fought in a real war. The heros like Hercules was probably a real man who's story got more and more mystical with every retelling.

Answer 4

It's been said that "from myth comes fact". In all mythology there is some semblance of truth and fact. Troy was thought for many years to be a fictitious place. Then recently it was rediscovered. The tales of Thor were human explanations for why ther was thunder and lightning. So the labyrinth probably was real but was hypersensationalised by people trying to make the story better.

Answer 5

There is no evidence apart from the fact that these legends exist and legends are not all true but often they are based on truth.

But Greeks took their religion allegorically rather than literally and that is why they had the guts to invents stories where the Gods were represented in a comic light [Aristophanes, Lucianus]

Answer 6

there is no evidence... people dont make wings out of wax and feathers and start flying... though id love to see someone try

Answer 7

there may not be proof...there may be. who knows. it way likely just a story for entertainment, like video games. hercules may also be made up, but he's more likely to have existed than a labyrinth and a minotaur.

Answer 8

there is a labyrinth in crete about the cenutar

Answer 9

The labirinth never existed becaus it was a greecian story for people.

Hercules did exist because they painted him on vases (how greeks told thier stories). And he is written about by Aristotle! But over the years the story got changed. He was just a famour warrior!

Answer 10

there is a very good possibility that it existed as they have already found troy despite people saying for years it never existed
