The name of the city known as Labranda in Milas, which was once the capital of the Carians (Karia), comes from the same root, Labrys (Labris – Double-Sided Axe). There is a double-sided ax symbol in the Temple of Zeus here. Here, this ax is referred to as the two-pronged ax of Zeus. We can find the best example of the esoteric meaning of the labyrinth in the story of the Minotaur, who was imprisoned in a labyrinth in Greek mythology.The struggle of Theseus, who was able to kill him, shows the inner obstacles, imperfection, and the trials required to overcome it without getting tired. Killing the Minotaur symbolizes the perfection achieved in passing all these tests and going out again.
