Here’s a maze. The Hampton Court maze, to be precise. Does anyone picture the Minotaur’s maze as something like this — as a hedge maze?
Would Minos have commissioned the famed architect Daedalus to design a hedge maze? And would such leafy hedginess have been capable of imprisoning a raging half-bull-monster with vast grievances for years and years?
But Julie points to hedges and they therefore bear thinking about. They would also explain the catalogue of green.
Although in my head the Minotaur’s maze is dank and dark. And stone. And covered, now I think about it.
Oh well. Thanks, Julie.
I worked the Hampton Court maze. I’d long wanted to do a hedge maze! I wandered around, trying to get lost. Then, I realized with relief and a tiny thrill, I was lost! Then I decided to find my way to the benches in the middle — and I couldn’t! In frustration I stopped trying and walked right in.
I was there many years ago but spent most of the time inside the maze in a furious argument with my then-significant-other. I blame the maze for making the argument much more furious (downright terminal, it was) than it would have been anywhere else…
