Daedalus is known for his incredible craftsmanship and ingenuity, and he built the labyrinth for King Minos of Crete to imprison the Minotaur.
However, in the *Percy Jackson* series, the labyrinth takes on a much more complex and sinister role, as it's a monstrous, ever-shifting maze with its own malevolent personality. It acts as a place of power for the evil god Luke Castellan and becomes a key location in the overall story.
