The Labyrinth is a large maze constructed by the mortal Daedalus at the behest of the king of the Gods himself, Zeus in order to contain the key to Pandora's Box.
The Labyrinth is being contained in the Caverns of Olympus. This simple mission consumed Zeus to the point that he did not allow Daedalus to embark on any repair duties and instead create a great structure to serve as a prison for the daughter of Hephaestus, Pandora. Daedalus believed it to be his greatest work and superior to the Great Chain that kept Olympus tied to the Underworld. The heart of the Labyrinth itself hung on the Great Chain of Balance and thus meant it resided between Olympus and Hades. This meant that if ever one side began to rise or fall, the Labyrinth would shift accordingly and thus be forever shifted. Another aspect of the design involved The Three Judges being the final latch of the lock.
Pandora (Πανδώρα, "All gifts") is the self-made and adoptive daughter of Hephaestus. Pandora was the first woman to ever exist. She, and therefore the female gender, was created as punishment for Prometheus' theft of fire - Hephaestus molded her from the earth, and each god bestowed seductive gifts on her. She and her husband, Epimetheus, were entrusted with Pandora's Box by the Gods, either for safekeeping or a desire to punish mankind. The Box was said to contain all the evils of the world, and despite instructions not to open it, Pandora's curiosity betrayed her. In an attempt to peek inside, all of the evil energies within were released, leaving behind only Hope, who decided to stay inside the box to remain with humanity. Thus, despite having innocent intentions, Pandora was blamed for all the woes of mankind. "Box" is in fact a mistranslation from the Greek word pithos, a large jar, into the Latin pyxis, a box. Created by Hephaestus, Pandora served as a key to the mythological Pandora's Box, rumoured to bring about the end of the world.
In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth was an elaborate structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur, a mythical creature that was half man and half bull and was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus. Daedalus had so cunningly made the Labyrinth that he could barely escape it after he built it. Theseus was aided by Ariadne, who provided him with a skein of thread, literally the "clue", so he could find his way out again. In Daedalus' attempt to escape the Labyrinth, he and his son Icarus wore wax wings. Icarus would fall to his death after flying to close to the sun.
The Labyrinth is a giant machine run on steam power. Constantly moving and shifting no one could possibly make it out once they were in. The giant structure is in the form of a cube. Suspended by chains so that even entrance is next to impossible. Having only one way in and only one way out the Labyrinth holds a series of tasks to over come and a number of darkest creatures and demons.
Daedalus' workshop can also be found within the Labyrinth.
Contrary to real mythology, Pandora was crafted and given the gift of life by the smith god Hephaestus. He grew fond of her, and considered Pandora his daughter, while Zeus viewed her as an unnatural abomination, often referring to her as a "thing" or "object".
The flame of Olympus is within the Labyrinth. It surrounds Pandora's Pithos. The Flame of Olympus is the absolute power that was formed by the gods, and it is also the only way to defeat them. It may have an enticing glow, but its touch is lethal to both man and god.
Pandora's box will release a mess of monsters upon the Earth of the modern world. This army will be of many mythologies and none of these creatures will be friendly.
