The labyrinth of Ephebe is ancient and full of one hundred and one amazing things you can do with hidden springs, razor-sharp knives, and falling rocks.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
A dry joke about a maze built to hurt you. Instead of a mere puzzle, the ancient labyrinth is a catalogue of traps: hidden springs, razor-sharp knives, falling rocks. Calling them 'one hundred and one amazing things' treats lethal hazards like a cheerful list of attractions.
