I recall only a bit of a show that described a particular labyrinth on a hill—I think the destination was a tower also on the hill. It was thought to be one of the more difficult mazes because, as I recall, humans want to progress up toward the tower but at several junctures the incorrect path was the one that headed uphill.
No idea what/where that one was.
> at several junctures the incorrect path
Common misunderstanding. A labyrinth is a single path. It does not have branches like a maze.
That's the technical meaning, but in common language the two gave been interchangeable for centuries, so it's regrettably hard to be pedantic.
If that's the case, then why did Theseus need that ball of yarn from Ariadne to avoid getting lost in one?
This really puts the 1986 movie Labyrinth in a new light, haha.
Was this a TV show?
It was. The maze (I guess not labyrinth) was a historic one.
