Cool "Labyrinth Don’t ask us we’re just the knockers shirt"
Let's buy this Labyrinth Don’t ask us we’re just the knockers shirt. Labyrinth is a word of pre-Greek origin, which the Greeks associated with the palace of Knossos in Crete, excavated by Arthur Evans early in the 20th century. The word appears in a Linear B inscription as da-pu-ri-to. As early as 1892 Maximilian Mayer suggested that labyrinthos might derive from labrys, a Lydian word for “double-bladed axe”. Evans suggested that the palace at Knossos was the original labyrinth, and since the double axe motif appears in the palace ruins, he asserted that labyrinth could be understood to mean “the house of the double axe”. This designation may not have been limited to Knossos, since the same symbols were discovered in other palaces in Crete. However Nilsson observes that in Crete the “double axe” is not a weapon and always accompanies goddesses or women and not a male god.
