Thos evolved into the Centaur's Labyrinth that we built at a YMCA camp, Chauncey Ranch in Mayer Arizona. It is a modification on a classic seven circuit with a 40 foot round pen in the center and 4 foot paths.

There are many books and websites which illustrate the method of drawing a 7-circuit/ring classical (Cretan) labyrinth by starting with a "seed pattern." This page goes beyond that by suggesting practical ways of creating full-sized versions which can be walked or run with little more than a ball of string and some pins.

The Classical Labyrinth (also known as Cretan, Seven-path/circuit) Existing for at least 3500 years, the archetypal labyrinth design consists of a single pathway that loops back and forth to form seven circuits, bounded by eight walls, surrounding the central goal. It is found in both circular and square forms.

Throughout history we have been fascinated by the stories and symbolism of the Cretan Labyrinth and the Minotaur that was said to lurk within. Here, Andrew Shapland, curator of the Ashmolean's spring 2023 exhibition, uncovers more.

2024年11月5日 · Also known as the Cretan Labyrinth, this ancient, single-path labyrinth dates back to Crete and was used across various cultures. It features seven circuits (or paths) arranged in a simple yet intricate design that guides walkers in and out with one continuous route.

The "Cretan" Labyrinth The labyrinth of Pylos has a quadrangular shape like most of the labyrinths on the coins of Cnossos. Round labyrinths appear on Cretan coins as well as on rock engravings in western Europe. Discussion of these two types, the quadrangular and the round, can also be postponed, for both types of labyrinths, round and quad-

Cretan labyrinth. The earliest known labyrinth pattern is the ‘Cretan’ labyrinth design. Its seven rings of paths are easily created by drawing a cross and four dots and then joining them up to form eight concentric rings of barriers, leaving seven rings in between.
