I was looking at the labyrinth and lo and behold, I saw a maltese cross otherwise known as a templars cross, this is getting interesting
Sorry I know its a sketchy marking off the picture; but now you know what to look for. look at this...
I then did a google on labyrinths and the templars and found this website:

The Labyrinth of the grail
The Knights Templar and the "Holy Grail" in Nova Scotia.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the 14th century, the Inquisition was determined to exterminate the Knights Templar. Some refugee Knights (and their treasure?) participated in
trans Atlantic voyages to Nova Scotia in 1398. The Templars were the keepers of the Holy Grail who were searching for Avalon, a paradise free from
religious persecution. Was this sanctuary Nova Scotia?
I also found this on ATS. It was posted a few days ago...
Read the full post:
'A massive labyrinth of ancient and (until now) secret underground passages, built by the Knights Templar and linked to the Holy grail, has
been found in the historic town of Hertford in South-East England, not far from the site of the major Templar preceptory, of Temple Dinsley.
Incredibly, most of the labyrinth remains hidden along with its secrets.'
These are just a few thoughts, it fits in better with the latin rather than greek mythology. The templars are also asociated with Mithras a Bull
God:

Mithraic sculpture depicted the Taurobolium with invariable consistency. Mithras was always depicted in the cave kneeling on the back of the bull,
dagger in hand, wearing a flowing cape and Phrygian cap (the rounded, conical hats currently en vogue amongst rap-music fans). He was shown pulling
back the bull's head by its nostrils and stabbing it with the dagger, back foot extended over the bull's right leg. A dog and a snake were shown
leaping into bull's wound, representing the dualistic conflict of good and evil at the moment of creation. A scorpion was shown at the bull's
genitals, depicting evil seeking to destroy life at its source. Ears of corn sprung from the tail of the bull representing victory of good over evil.
During the celebration of the vernal equinox, the Phrygian priests of the Great Mother attributed the blood shed in the Taurobolium to the redemptive
power of the blood of the Divine Lamb shed on the Christian Easter. It was maintained that the dramatic Taurobolium purification ritual was more
effective than baptism. The food that was taken during the mystic feasts was likened to the bread and wine of the communion; the Mother of the Gods
(Magna Mater) received greater worship than the Mother of God (Mary), whose son also had risen again. An inscription in the Mithraeum under the Church
of Santa Prisca in Rome referred to Mithras saving men by shedding the eternal blood of the bull. On the very spot on which the last Taurobolium took
place at the end of the fourth century, in the Phrygianum, today stands the Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica.
What do you think am I clutching at straws? It also fits in with the Golden Section being used in the Labyrinth...
