Answer is Yes.
In the Middle Ages, Church labyrinths symbolized the tortuous path that good christians followed towards redemption. Their careful placement within the cathedrals suggests that they do contain a wealth of coded information.
Ancient stone labyrinths, on the shores of the Baltic sea, were probably walked by fishermen who wanted to return safely from dangerous voyages, and were believed to trap evil spirits (which were thought to only move in straight lines).
To the Greeks and Romans the labyrinth symbol signified the myth of Theseus and Minotaur. The Minotaur was a half-man, half bull monster, imprisioned in a labyrinth on the island of Crete near Greece. The Labyrinth was built by Daedalus, the ingenious inventor and artificer, and it was a confusing, complex building that once entered was impossible to leave. Worse, King Minos of Crete, after winning a war with the city of Athens, forced the Athenians to regularly send 7 young men and women to be fed to the Minotaur.
The Greek hero Theseus went to Crete to slay the Minotaur, and there King Minos's daughter, Ariadne, fell in love with him. She gave Theseus a ball of thread so he could find his way back out of the labyrinth. Theseus killed the Minotaur and, using the thread, got back out of the labyrinth. Theseus and Ariadne ran off together in Theseus ship, but Theseus, tiring of Ariadne, abandoned her on one of the Greek Islands before returning to Athens.
